Apple uses a combination of hardware and software tricks to make sure the image recorded is always steady. Along with stabilizing footage, there&#8217;s a whole new use case that Apple showed off for this feature. The company shared a video called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hEalzEnT70k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8220;No Frame Missed,&#8221;<\/a> which tells the story of a father who has Parkinson&#8217;s but continues to record videos with shaky hands, thanks to the iPhone&#8217;s Action Mode.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This feature lets you capture smooth handheld videos by recording a wider image than you see, and cropping and shifting the frame in real time to cancel out shaky hands or bumpy movements. In addition, Apple uses the iPhone&#8217;s optical image stabilization to smooth out jerks and sudden movements.\u00a0While Apple first promoted Action Mode as a feature meant to record footage while running or playing a sport, the ad reveals how this feature can also be a great accessibility tool. Activating Action Mode is as simple as enabling a toggle within the Camera app.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                How to activate Action Mode on your iPhone<\/p>\n<p>                                             &#13;<br \/>\n                                                    &#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/how-to-activate-action-mode-on-your-iphone-1757410709.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/1964079\/how-to-use-action-mode-on-iphone\/\" data-post-id=\"1964079\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"How To Use Action Mode On Your iPhone: How to activate Action Mode on your iPhone\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"iPhone 16 Pro Max's Camera app on iOS 26\"\/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    Jos\u00e9 Adorno\/BGR<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While every iPhone that supports Action Mode in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/tech\/ios-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">iOS 18<\/a> will also have it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/guides\/ios-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">iOS 26<\/a>, Apple has changed the location of the toggle to enable it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here&#8217;s how to use Action Mode on an iPhone running iOS 18:<\/p>\n<p>Open the Camera app.<br \/>\nSwipe to the Video tab.<br \/>\nLook for the Action Mode toggle, right beside the Flash icon.<br \/>\nStart recording a video.<\/p>\n<p>If your iPhone is running iOS 25, here&#8217;s how to use Action Mode:<\/p>\n<p>Open the Camera app.<br \/>\nSwitch to Video mode.<br \/>\nTap the Video tab and then choose the Action toggle.<br \/>\nStart recording a video.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To get the best out of this mode, you&#8217;ll need to be in a bright environment, preferably outdoors.
