What does the Camera Control do on iPhone 16?

For starters, the Camera Control button can be used to launch the native Camera app on your iPhone no matter which screen you’re on. Pressing it again takes a picture. So far so good.

When you lightly press the camera control, you will get to choose from the following functions:
