Apple introduced a new Eye Tracking feature on iPhones, allowing users to control their devices using only their eyes. The feature focuses on accessibility for people with physical disabilities while also offering a hands-free way for other users to interact with their iPhones.
To enable Eye Tracking, users must open Settings, choose the Accessibility menu, and toggle the Eye Tracking button on.
Eye Tracking lets users control their iPhone without touching the screen. Users can also personalize this feature by adjusting sensitivity and setting actions to trigger with eye movements.
The Eye Tracking feature uses the iPhone's front-facing camera. Apple has developed special technologies that track the user’s eyes and interpret their movements.
This setup lets the iPhone follow the user’s gaze and respond accordingly. In addition, Eye Tracking enables accessibility because the iPhone no longer requires physical contact with the screen.

Initial user feedback points to precise and responsive performance. However, lighting conditions and camera angles can affect how effectively the feature works.
Since Eye Tracking relies on the front camera to detect eye movement, users may need to position themselves appropriately for consistent results. Changes in lighting or the camera angle can influence tracking accuracy.
Apple's new Eye Tracking feature gives users another way to interact with the iPhone without touch input. This technology would benefit people with physical disabilities that make it hard for them to use touch input.
Other people can use this technology as another means of hands-free control. Apple combines the front camera with facial recognition and movement detection to enable eye input.
