How can I take selfies with my Nikon D5600 when it doesn't have built-in infrared remote control support?

I loved taking selfies using a tripod using my Nikon D5200. I upgraded to the newest Nikon D5600 and for my surprise, there's no built-in infrared remote control support. Before that, I'd just use my tripod and a wireless remote with the screen flipped out, so I could see where I was in the photo. The SnapBridge app is worthless because it connects slowly and I can only use it as a remote with the camera's screen turned off. When it's turned on, it doesn't work and it's quite slow and confusing seeing the image through the app on my smartphone. A remote with a cable is also unnerving because the entry is right next to the screen ruining my view. Why would Nikon downgrade their cameras? The D5600 is much newer than the D5200. Why would a flip-out screen even be useful without the built-in infrared remote control support when a lot of users use it for selfies? I'm regretting my purchase. Not to mention, I don't bring my smartphone to hikes. The wireless remote feature was very important to me.

Use the 2 or 10-second self timer.

In actuality, using a digital SLR mounted on a tripod to photograph yourself, is closer to a self-portrait as long as you previsualize the result and plan how the background will enhance the photo.

The Nikon WR-T10 Wireless Remote Controller is what you need if you want to remotely trigger the camera from your location. This accessory uses radio frequencies to communicate with the camera. This means that you do not have to be in the line of sight in order for it to work. The IR remote only works if your camera can "see" the IR remote controller

You must have excellent vision to be able to see the 3.5 inch LCD from your "selfie" position

If you can't figure this out yourself, you don't deserve to have a dSLR. Take note. We were doing self portraits with manual SLRs and film way before the word selfie was coined.

Have you no sense of creativity? Are you saying that you can't figure this out yourself? Really? I find it difficult to believe that you own a very nice camera but don't have the kind of imagination required to use it.
