Nowadays, most smartphones come with large screens and large sizes. While large screens are convenient for watching videos and editing photos, this large size can be a problem when taking selfies. Holding the phone with one hand and pressing the shutter button can sometimes be difficult. Tapping the screen with your finger can cause the phone to shake, resulting in blurred or distorted selfies.

If this happens to you too, then a small camera trick present in the phone can be very useful for you.

No need to press the on-screen shutter.
When taking a selfie, hold the phone firmly with one hand and open the camera app. Now, instead of pressing the on-screen shutter button, press one of the volume buttons. Many smartphones offer the option to use the volume button as a camera shutter.

The biggest advantage of this trick is that you don't need to reach the screen to take a photo. This makes the phone easier to hold and can reduce the chance of hand shaking while taking a photo.

Video recording can also be beneficial.
Some smartphones offer the option to use the volume buttons as camera controls. Some models simply click a photo by pressing the button, while other camera apps may offer different shortcuts. However, this functionality depends on the phone model and camera app.
