The Camera app has gotten a few useful upgrades in iOS 26. From a brand new app icon to a more convenient layout, there's a lot to check out. I've been using the new app for a couple of weeks, and here's every helpful change I've found so far.
A slick interface

It's neater and a lot less confusing upon opening the app. At first, there are just the two options—Photo and Video—for you to choose from, which makes it really easy to jump right into action. Once you choose how you want to use your camera, you can then access additional options on the same screen, and Apple has reduced the number of times you'll have to go to your iPhone's Settings page for Camera-related tweaks, like choosing which format you want your videos to be saved in. You also have the option of swiping on the Photo or Video buttons to reveal more camera modes. However, my favorite feature is that long-pressing the name of your current camera mode reveals even more options, such as adjusting the exposure, toggling night mode, tweaking the focus, and much more.
Adjust video settings in the Camera app

But when I wanted to shoot a 60 fps video, I had to start digging through my Setting app. That has changed in iOS 26. When you open the Camera app in iOS 26 and select the Video mode, you'll see video format details in the top-left corner of the screen. Tap this to quickly change the resolution and frame rate. This is an excellent feature for anyone who regularly uses their iPhone to shoot videos.
Control your camera with your AirPods

Open the Camera app on your iPhone and press the AirPods stem to click a photo or start/stop a video recording. This is really convenient for the times when you need to take photos from an awkward angle, or when you want to take a nice photo of yourself from a distance.
