I got my new iPhone 16 pro max yesterday. The camera control button (even though I have the settings properly configured to open the camera on a single press, and I did the new software update this morning) only works after pressing it twice. I want to know what’s going on in terms of bug fixes for software or if it’s a defective unit all together?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
So I have the iphone 16 ProMax. I thought my camera button wasn’t working, however, not being used to the new phone yet, I noticed a 2nd lower button on the right-hand side of my phone. I didn’t realize it because the button is inward on the phone to the touch. It is not an outward button that you can easily feel like the other buttons on the phone. With all that said, it is the lower inward button on right side of phone that opens up the Camera feature. Hope this info helps
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much. This worked for me! You’re a lifesaver xo
Yay I’m glad it worked out for you as well. I already had an appointment for apple service 😂
Me too lol and I also called three different senior advisors and they had no idea! Apple should be paying you lol 💖
I was with one guy for almost an hour, at some point I thought he is already my friend😂
That’s hilarious! I totally know what you mean. 🙈😂
Thx, same problem here. So if resetting the options helps, I will try it but I am a bit afraid what the reset exactly means and how much work it is to sort things out afterwards 😜
Which largely nullifies the value of the feature.
Even i too facing same issue, its is not working with one click
I have the same problem. I am unable to take a picture with the camera app also because it freezes and closes the app. Very frustrating
I bought the iPhone 16 Pro and the slider on the camera control is not working at all. I dont't understand what is the issue. Does somebody know how to fix this? I am on iOS 18.1 roght now.
It’s not up to the user to try a new grip, a new case, or change button sensitivity. This is a design issue, Apple, so focus on the user experience rather than putting in on the user.
I have the same issue. Did you find a fix?
This solved it and should be upvoted to be the answer at the top.
