Genius tip
You can get Be My Eyes to use your iPhone’s volume buttons for taking pictures by toggling the feature on in the app’s Settings page.
One of the brilliant things about iPhone is that it can make people’s lives easier and better, and the Be My Eyes app is a great example of that. It launched on iOS back in 2015, enabling you to set up an instant video call with a volunteer who could help you read things like cooking instructions and food expiry dates, letters, signs, or medicine labels.
