What's New in LibreCam
1.11
October 28, 2026
IPHONE REMOTE. A second iPhone with LibreCam is now the remote for this one: the live viewfinder with your look on it, tap to focus, every dial, the lenses, looks and the shutter, with each shot sent back as a thumbnail. The two iPhones talk directly, so no Wi-Fi network is needed. Pair them once, and they find each other on their own after that. Part of LibreCam Pro, which only the shooting iPhone needs.
