Hands Full? Use Palm Timer to Take Selfie on Android
1 min read
Summary
Many people prefer to use the rear camera on their phone for taking selfies, as it generally has better quality than the front-facing camera.
The Palm Timer function, which is available on Google Pixel phones, allows users to take hands-free photos without needing to set a timer.
To enable Palm Timer, open the phone’s camera app, select the settings option, and ensure the Palm Timer option is activated.
When you want to take a photo, simply hold out your palm to activate the timer.
For phones that do not have Palm Timer, there are several alternative options, including using voice commands with Google Assistant, or downloading a third-party app that reacts to sound.
It is also possible to use the front-facing camera on Galaxy and other Android phones to take photos using palm gestures.
Check the phone’s camera settings and ensure the “Show Palm” toggle is active.
With these options, it is possible to take high-quality selfies without needing to set a timer or touch the screen.
