### **1. Take Photos Without Touching the Screen**
One of the most useful hidden features of the volume buttons is their ability to act as a shutter button for your iPhone camera. Instead of tapping the on-screen button to take a picture, simply press the volume up or down button to snap a photo. This is especially handy when you’re trying to take selfies or group shots because it reduces the need to touch the screen, minimizing the chances of blurring your shot.
#### **How to use it:**
– Open the Camera app on your iPhone.
– Frame your shot as usual.
– Press the volume up or down button to take the photo.

#### **How to use it:**
– Open the Camera app and switch to video mode.
– To start recording, press either the volume up or volume down button.
