@userzUkgLTiUKJ  Sorry but you can't take pictures with your S-Pen on the S25's

The only real solution is to correct the problem created when Samsung removed the functionality of the S pen. At the very least they should come up with a replacement or enhanced S Pen that could offer some of the Bluetooth features.

Open the Camera app and click the S Pen button to start taking a picture. can be used to toggle between the front and rear camera if you have enabled this feature in your settings. In Settings, Advanced Features  S Pen S Pen Air Actions, make sure Air Actions is enabled.

@alamin753 Thatโ€™s not a option on the S25โ€™s since Bluetooth was removed from the S Pen

you cannot use the S Pen that comes with your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to control your camera remotely.

Alternative ways to control your S25 Ultra camera remotely:

  • Voice Commands: You can still use voice commands to take pictures.

  • Show Palm Gesture: Some Samsung phones allow you to take a photo by showing your palm to the camera.

  • Samsung Galaxy Watch or Ring: If you own a Samsung Galaxy Watch or a Galaxy Ring, these devices can often act as remote shutters for your phone's camera.

  • Third-party Bluetooth remotes: You might be able to find generic Bluetooth camera remotes that are compatible with your S25 Ultra.

Horrible business decision.

I am so irritated by this decision and wish I kept my old phone now. I'm at an amusement park and voice control is NOT an option . . . What were they thinking? Oh, they were not! People buy phones for the features and pay the $ for those features. Since you take them away, we should get some money back!

Why can't I take pics with the camera using the button on the s pen like I was able to with my s23 ultra?
