@Members_i23aTWl The hardware has been removed from the S25 Ultra.

Alternatives include:

  • In camera settings, enable "Show palm" and/or "Voice commands".
  • Also you can say "Hey Bixby, take a picture"
  • You can use the Camera controller on your Samsung watch. 
  • You can use gestures with your Samsung Ring. 
  • You can purchase an inexepensive selfie stick which includes a remote Bluetooth shutter button.

I used mine a lot too on my S22. I purchased a tripod mount for my phone and it came with a small Bluetooth shutter remote. It's really cheap but works in a pinch. Easy find on amazon

Samsung would prefer that you purchase an accessory rather than use the one provided in the 1300 dollar phone.

Samsung gave us that feature with the Note 9 and took it away with the S25 Ultra. I'm still on the S22 Ultra and use the S-Pen's Bluetooth features all the time. Therefore, when I do decide to upgrade, it'll be to the S24 Ultra. What I'll do after that will depend on them.
