What's New in ZPTH

3.3.1

October 2, 2026

ZPTH 3.3.1 is a compatibility release for the newest iPhones. THE LATEST iPHONE MODELS • ZPTH now identifies your iPhone's depth cameras by what they can actually deliver rather than by name. On a new iPhone whose front TrueDepth module or rear LiDAR scanner is presented differently from the models ZPTH was built against, the depth modes now find the sensor and start normally. If you saw a "no LiDAR camera" message on a new iPhone, that is what this release fixes. • ZPTH now re-checks for your depth cameras once you have granted camera access, instead of trusting a check that could run before the permission prompt was answered. • The camera flip button now appears only when both the front and rear camera can deliver depth in the mode you are in, so it can no longer flip you to a camera with nothing to show. In the monocular modes, which need no depth sensor, it stays available on every iPhone as before. • If no depth sensor is found at all, ZPTH now opens in the monocular modes — the fifteen that infer depth from a single camera on-device — rather than on a black preview. On such a device those modes are not locked behind Pro. All 45 modes, the Creator editor, the Home Screen widgets and NDI streaming are unchanged. Everything still runs on your device. No account, no internet, no tracking; the microphone (Pulsar, Cymatic) and local-network (NDI) features remain opt-in and off by default.

User reviews

Amazing visual tool

Yet another fantastic app from this developer. Like his even more in-depth tool TDLiDAR, this app provides a bucket-full of effects and adjustable parameters using the output from the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor. Perfect for artistic displays, music VJs, or just for fun.

buggy

cool app but it’s a buggy mess and the interface sucks with hidden swipe gestures and collapsing menus and infinite scroll on the mode selection.
