Android 12, the new version of the operating system that Google is currently preparing, has implemented a new feature in the accessibility section that makes it possible for users to control the mobile device through different facial expressions.
The Android Accessibility Suite received, in the latest beta of Android 12.0.0, the option to control the device without touching the screen, known as “Camera Switches”, as reported by the XDA Developers portal.
With the accessibility feature, the user can control the device through the camera, performing different facial gestures such as opening the mouth, smiling, raising the eyebrows and looking left, right or up.
It is possible to customize the function to configure that each gesture carries out different controls, such as pause Camera Switches, enable or disable automatic scanning, select, go to the next, long press, scroll forward or back, go to the beginning, back, notifications , configuration or summary.
When the option is working, Android shows a persistent notification, also present in the status bar, with which it informs the user that the camera is being actively used.
