For several years, Android has offered accessibility options to facilitate its use for people with disabilities. Zoom, font size, subtitles... It is possible to completely change your smartphone experience in just a few clicks, adapting it to the needs of your situation. Every year the list grows and Android 12 will be no exception.

The next update will include a feature called "Camera Switches", which was already present in beta 4. As the name suggests, it's about using the selfie sensor of your smartphone to trigger actions. While it is possible to use an external device, such as a keyboard, via USB or Bluetooth to control his device, Camera Switches proposes to do without any tool and simply use the expressions of his face.

WITH ANDROID 12, SMILE TO SCROLL AND RAISE YOUR EYEBROWS TO SELECT

This is a whole list of gestures and facial movements that can be used as "triggers". Beta 4 reveals all those already available, but it is possible that others will be added in the future. For example, simply opening your mouth or smiling is enough to perform an action on your smartphone. Here are all the expressions that should be available at the launch of Android 12:

- Open your mouth

- Smile

- Raise your eyebrows

- Look to the left

- Look to the right

- Look up

These gestures make it easy to navigate your smartphone. Here is the list of things you can do:
