Galaxy Watch Camera Controller missing on Samsung phone? Check compatible device list
Samsung smartwatches such as the most recent Galaxy Watch 5, Watch 5 Pro, Watch 4, and Watch 4 Classic are packed with a number of useful features. Meanwhile, an important feature – ‘Camera controller’ is missing on various Samsung phones as all Galaxies are not compatible with it.
Through the Camera controller app, you can use your Samsung smartwatch to control your smartphone camera, however, only flagship devices are compatible with this functionality. It’s a big concern for Samsung consumers as they are no longer having a basic feature even after purchasing a Galaxy Watch.
