Third person toggle for mobile devices

I think it would be really useful if there were a small button next to the chat and pause button for mobile devices, which would allow one to switch their camera view from third person to first person quickly, this could be useful in so many situations, especially on servers. This definitely is not an incredibly important feature but it is annoying to have to pause the game and go change my view every time I need to. Thanks, ;) 

(Edit, Making an option to toggle it on or off in the settings would be nice as well)

    I think that's a great idea, maybe with an option to hide the button if you don't want it.

    This would be a great idea for larger phones and tablets, not so much for smaller phones, I've tried playing on a smaller phone before it's already unpleasant enough. Give it a toggle option or have it off on default depending on the device.

    And the annoying thing is... This exact thing exists on the Chinese version of Minecraft pe! Yes there is a button next to the pause and chat buttons that lets you change pov on the fly.

    Hi Mojang, since you added an emote button at least have POV Button and also have an option to take it off like what JurscBeaver said and also maybe spread out the button so we don't have accidental touches.

    I'm new here, but I love this idea, how can we know if mojang actually saw this is there a way of knowing if they will even consider this?

    I really really desperately need a POV button near the chat or pause, this is a very good idea jurscbeaver! I can't believe mojang hasn't done this already.

    Yeah this needs a lot of votes because its a good idea. I'm a mobile player and mojang is just trying to make it harder for mobile players making us have to go into setting then video then switch the view

    I 100% want this to be in the game as it helps a lot when switching from first person to third person. I suggest putting the button on the bottom left of the screen (near the movement buttons).
