    Samsung Brings Camera Controller Feature to Galaxy Fit 2

    Every user thought Samsung has stopped supporting Galaxy Fit 2, and there will not be any update in the future for the band. Now with the surprise, Samsung has released a new firmware update for the Galaxy Fit 2 that brings major features. The company has brought a Camera Controller feature for the smart band. Apart from that, the users will see a call rejection message on the main screen. Further, it has added the Rope Jumping counting feature to the fitness tracker.

    The camera controller feature is not new to Galaxy Watch users. It has launched with Galaxy Watch Active 2, and since then, it is part of every Galaxy smartwatch. Even the Fit 2 rivals like Mi Smart Band 5 & Band 6 support it. The feature is only supported with Samsung Galaxy devices and Android 7.0 or higher versions. It is not confirmed whether the controller function will come to other non-Samsung smartphones.

    The previous update for the Fit 2 was distributed at the starting of last year, and since then, the fitness tracker never received any single software. Most users are waiting for the next-gen Galaxy Fit 3, but there is no word from Samsung about it. The latest 2.16MB firmware version R220XXU1AVB8 is available in India & South Korea, and soon, it will come to other countries. Head to the Galaxy Wearable app to install a new version.

    Why Camera Controller Missing on my Galaxy Watch 4?

    After buying Galaxy Watch 4 or Watch 4 Classic, you may have searched for the official Camera Controller app, and were disappointed by not seeing it. Since launching, the app is part of the watch, then why you are not getting it in the first place. You are not alone, many users on social platforms like Reddit groups, Facebook, Samsung Community, and even on Twitter are asking the same question. Why Camera Controller app is not available in Galaxy Watch 4?

    In short, most smartphones don’t support the controller app, that’s why the company disabled it from those phones. Like many other Samsung services, the app is limited to selected devices. If you are using a non-Samsung phone, then the app will not support it. Then what about Galaxy phones? Well, the sad part is, even it is Samsung’s official app, most of the Galaxy phones didn’t get support.

    As per Samsung, right now, only Galaxy S series models can use the Camera Controller app on their Galaxy Watch 4 duo. In that too, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, and later models get the service. It means you can use it on Galaxy S9, S10, S20 & S21 series devices.

    On Tizen-based Galaxy Watch Active 2 & Watch 3, you can use the app with Galaxy S9 & above, Galaxy Note 9 & above, and Galaxy Z Fold & later models. The controller app on Wear OS 3-based Galaxy Watch 4 only works with a few Galaxy S flagship models.

    In a future update, Samsung may open the app for more Galaxy smartphones including upper Galaxy A devices like Galaxy A52s & Galaxy A72. We can’t say anything about app compatibility with non-Samsung phones for now.
