## Description

The Bluetooth Remote Shutter is a convenient Chrome extension that connects via Bluetooth to your iOS and Android phones, enabling you to control the camera shutter from up to 30 feet away. By pairing your device with the extension, you can take photos remotely with just a click, eliminating camera shake caused by screen tapping, and avoiding awkward hand placements in your pictures. This tool is perfect for capturing group photos, selfies, or self-portraits effortlessly.

Featuring an easy setup, you simply enable Bluetooth on your phone, scan for devices, connect, and then take photos through the extension interface. Note that some devices may have Bluetooth HID profiles disabled, so compatibility might vary depending on your phone manufacturer. This extension is ideal for users seeking hands-free photo capturing without the hassle of physical shutter buttons or self-timer delays.

## Review summary

User reviews are mixed: many praise the core remote shutter feature and ease of use, but a large number report persistent Bluetooth connection issues, occasional one-time use success followed by failure, and disruptive advertising/prompts.

### Pros

- Reliability varies by device; some users report it works once and then stops.
