Hi there ShannonDonn,


If the Camera Remote is not working as expected on your Apple Watch Ultra, let's first ensure you are following the steps outlined here to use this feature:

Take a photo
1. Open the Camera Remote app  on your Apple Watch.
2. Position your iPhone to frame the shot using your Apple Watch as a viewfinder.
3. To zoom, turn the Digital Crown.
4. To adjust exposure, tap the key area of the shot in the preview on your Apple Watch.
5. To take the shot, tap the Shutter button.

The photo is captured in Photos on your iPhone, but you can review it on your Apple Watch.


If you are following those steps and this continues, please provide more details on what exactly happens when you open the Camera Remote app and if you are getting an error of some kind. We'll use that information to isolate the cause of this behavior further.


Cheers!
