Apple included the highly anticipated capability to modify the Camera app's controls in the iOS 27 Release Candidate delivered to developers on Wednesday. This feature, initially reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in May, was confirmed to be part of the beta roadmap. To modify the Camera app's controls, users must tap the button with six circles in the bottom-right corner of the Camera's UI and find an "Edit" button in the top-left corner.
From the new "Add Photo Controls" tray, users can add or remove widget-like controls at the top of the Camera app's UI, then press "Done" when satisfied. Depending on the iPhone model, options include Flash, Live Photo, Aspect Ratio, Timer, Exposure Styles, Filters, Depth Control, Night Mode, Center Stage, File Format, Shared Library, and a "Rest to Essentials" option to revert to the default controls.
Though the customization feature was absent from Apple's iOS 27 preview at WWDC in June, sources suggest Apple may have reserved it for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models, which boast significant camera hardware upgrades. The new iOS 27 is expected to launch publicly on September 14.
