I just noticed that in the latest model Galaxy S25 Ultra the S Pen no longer supports Bluetooth/remote-shutter functionality. Several community posts say that the S Pen’s Bluetooth connectivity (which allowed taking photos remotely) has been removed.
My question is:
Is the remote shutter function entirely removed from the S Pen in this model (i.e., cannot be used to take photos at all)?
If yes, is there an official reason from Samsung why this change was made? (I saw mentions that fewer than 1 % of users used the Bluetooth function. )
Are there any alternative ways to remotely trigger the camera using the S Pen (or another accessory) with this phone?
I used the S Pen remote shutter quite often (taking selfies, group pics when I didn’t have someone to press the shutter) so this change is quite disappointing for me.
Thanks in advance for any clarification or tips from fellow users or Samsung reps!
