It appears you're trying to use your Android phone as a remote shutter for your iPhone camera. Based on the provided information, this can potentially be achieved using Bluetooth remote shutter apps and some creative configuration. Here’s a breakdown of how it might work, though it requires using an overlay app and a Bluetooth shutter remote app on Android:
How it potentially works (based on limited information):
-
Bluetooth Remote Shutter App on Android: You'll need to install a Bluetooth remote shutter app on your Android phone. These apps are designed to trigger the Android phone's camera using a Bluetooth remote.
-
Overlay App on Android: The key to making this work seems to be an overlay app on Android. This app allows you to create an on-screen target or button that, when touched, interacts with other apps.
-
Configuration:
- Within the overlay app, you create a "target" (like a red circle).
- You position this target over the "take photo" button of the Bluetooth remote shutter app on your Android phone's screen.
- When you trigger the remote shutter (presumably a physical Bluetooth button paired with the Android), the overlay app detects the "touch" at the target location.
-
Bluetooth Connection to iPhone (the catch): The provided material doesn't explicitly state how this Android phone then controls the iPhone. The implication might be that the Android phone running the shutter app and overlay, will somehow pass the "take photo" command to iPhone. Without more information it is hard to determine.
In summary, the given approach seems very complex and likely requires significant technical know-how to set up. The missing element is how the Android communicates with the iPhone to trigger its camera. It is quite possible that the approach is only triggering a photo on the Android device.
Alternatives (more common methods):
Since a direct Bluetooth connection from Android to iPhone camera control isn't a standard feature, here are some possible alternative methods, though not perfectly equivalent to direct control:
-
Cloud-based solutions: Use a cloud storage service (like Google Photos, Dropbox, or iCloud) and sync photos from both devices. Take a photo on the Android and automatically see them (or be able to manually transfer) to the iPhone. This doesn't control the camera, but facilitates easy transfer.
-
Third-party apps (less likely to be a direct controller): Some apps might claim to offer cross-platform camera control. However, these are often unreliable or require specific hardware setups. Thoroughly research any app before installing it, paying close attention to reviews and privacy policies.
