From iOS 8, you can finally take photos with a self-timer. We'll show you how.

Take photos with self-timer from iOS 8

Under iOS 7, you could retrofit the self-timer using the app, now this is no longer necessary. The function is particularly suitable for group pictures or selfies.

1. Open the camera app and tap on the timer symbol at the top (see picture).
2. Here you can decide whether the self-timer should run for three or ten seconds.
3. Then tap the trigger and a countdown will occur in the bottom right corner of the picture until the picture is finally shot.
4. You will find the recordings in your gallery as usual.
