Auto tracking and self portraits

Previously i was a user of the Fujifilm XH2 and it allowed me to do self portraits. There was a tracking focus of sorts but for the SL3 i can't seem to do it.

I picked continuous focus as well as eye/body tracking + timer. Am i missing something in the equation?

You could shoot video with AF active and pull stills.

I don’t know of any way to do this to shoot photos without the phone app or a remote release.

If I remember correctly the auto track AFC + (Face detect focus) does not work through the app. I kept setting it up and then it kept revertint to AFS You can focus and take the shot but it won't track you. Frustrating.  Someone suggested I use capture one for that, but I can't just add a whole other workflow for just that purpose.

You need a selfie drone. A little friend to follow you around.

Just sit still and don't run around.
