WiFi Camera vs Trigger Keeper

Use one iPhone or iPad to see through another's camera and take the photo remotely. Set up your camera, check the framing on your other device, and tap the shutter when everyone is ready. WiFi Camera sends the full-size photo back to you, ready to save or share. CONNECT TWO DEVICES Install and open WiFi Camera on both devices. Find your other iPhone or iPad in the nearby list, tap to connect, and accept the invitation. You can also enable auto-accept for nearby invitations. SEE AND CONTROL THE CAMERA Watch the live camera view, switch between the other device's front and back cameras, and take photos remotely. When both devices have a camera, they can share their views with each other. KEEP THE ORIGINAL PHOTO Browse your photos in the app, zoom in to check the details, save to your photo library, or share the original image with the iOS share sheet. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use an iPhone as the camera and an iPad as the viewfinder, or connect two iPhones. The dark interface keeps the live view in focus, with clear controls and a small preview of your own camera. REQUIREMENTS • Two nearby iPhones or iPads with WiFi Camera installed and open. • This version requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. • At least one device must have an available camera. • Enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and allow Local Network access when prompted. A shared Wi-Fi network is recommended for live video. WiFi Camera connects Apple mobile devices to each other. It does not connect to standalone cameras, DSLRs, webcams, or IP security cameras, and it is not an internet-based remote monitoring service.

Prop your phone anywhere, step into the frame or keep your hands on the job, and say the word. Trigger Keeper hears it and takes the photo. No timer sprint, no asking strangers, no one missing from the picture. HOW IT WORKS Pick up to three trigger words. Any words you like, from "cheese" to something only your family says. Frame the shot and tap Play. Trigger Keeper starts listening. Say the word. The flashlight blinks so everyone knows it heard you, and the shutter fires. Or just smile. With Smile to shoot on, it takes the photo when everyone in frame is smiling. MADE FOR REAL PHOTOS Your word, not a wake phrase. No "Hey Siri" required. Works in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Burst mode takes three shots in a row, so blinks and mid-laugh frames don't cost you the photo. Live Photo support captures the moment around the moment. 0.5x ultra-wide to 6x zoom, with pinch or one-tap lens presets. 4:3, square, and 16:9 framing. The volume buttons and Camera Control work as a manual shutter. PRIVATE AND LOCAL Speech recognition and smile detection run entirely on your iPhone. Trigger Keeper contains no networking code at all. It cannot send your audio, your photos, or anything else anywhere. No account. No ads. No analytics. It works in airplane mode, because nothing it does ever needed the internet. Listening stops when you tap Stop, when you leave the app, or after 10 quiet minutes. A note on permissions: Trigger Keeper asks for full photo library access only because creating and managing its own album requires it. The gallery shows only the Trigger Keeper album. Your other photos are never read. GOOD FOR Family gatherings and holiday photos. Group shots where the photographer finally gets to be in them. Solo creators who need a camera operator. Anyone tired of the 10-second timer dash. Hands-busy moments: under a sink, up a ladder, or mid-repair, when you need a clear photo of a part to send to a colleague or customer. Requires iOS 17.2 or later. Ultra-wide and telephoto options appear on devices that have those lenses.
