Android 12 beta has the function of controlling the phone by face

In order to facilitate users with more different needs, the Android system has also added many accessibility features, one of which is added to the Android 12 beta is a new feature “Camera Switches” belonging to the Android Accessibility Suite. After activating this function, the user can pose different facial expressions to the phone, allowing the system to make various corresponding actions. For example, you can set “smile” or “raise eyebrows” to open the notification panel or quick setting page, or even open your mouth to scroll the page.

“Camera Switches” are developed through the Switch Access function of the Android Accessibility Suite, which is the same as other external replacement operations, such as keyboards, USB / Bluetooth devices, etc., but this time it is replaced with facial expressions to trigger actions. I hope this function can help people with disabilities whose hands are not very convenient to operate the smartphones that are essential for daily life through the still lively face.
