Android 12 to enable controlling device using facial expressions

The “Camera Switch” feature has arrived with version 12 of Android’s Accessibility Suite app, released alongside Android 12’s fourth beta, Report informs referring to The Verge.

The new version of the app isn’t available via Google Play just yet, XDA reports, but there’s an APK to sideload.
