Apple introduces changes to the camera in updated iOS 26

• A new switching mode for the camera has been added in iOS 26
• The change in gestures has caused inconvenience for users
• The option to revert to the old method of access is available in settings

This is reported by CNET, ZDNet.

Apple has released the second public beta of iOS 26, which features a new camera interface. One of the main points is the change in gestures during switching between camera modes, which has caused inconvenience for many users.

In the new version, users noted that to switch between modes, such as photo and video, it is necessary to swipe on a different side than before. This change has caused confusion, as it disrupted the usual order of switching camera modes that users were accustomed to.

To address this issue, Apple has added a new option called "Classic Mode Switching," which allows users to revert to the old method of switching camera modes. This function can be found in the camera settings in the beta version of iOS 26.

Users can activate this option by going to Settings → Camera → Classic Mode Switching and toggling the switch. This allows them to return to the usual method of switching between camera modes, which may ease usage for many.

It is worth noting that iOS 26 is still in the beta-testing stage, so users may encounter various issues, including problems with battery drain during prolonged use. It is recommended to install the beta version on a secondary device.
