Camia – Camera Remote Control turns two iPhones or iPads into a remote camera: one device is the camera, the other is a live viewfinder and shutter. Everyone gets into the group photo, with no running back to beat the timer. WHAT CAMIA DOES • Live preview of the camera's view on the remote device • Take photos, or start and stop video, from the remote • Shoot 1, 3, 5 or 8 photos with one tap • Self-timer: 3, 5 or 10 seconds, for photos and video • Switch between front and back camera • Pinch to zoom, tap to focus • Ultra Wide and Portrait options on devices that have those cameras • Photos and videos are saved to the camera device's Photos library; the remote shows temporary previews HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Camia – Camera Remote Control on both devices 2. Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices so they can connect directly 3. Choose one device as the camera and connect from the other 4. Frame the shot on the remote and tap GOOD FOR Group and family photos, travel photos when you're on your own, selfies with the better back camera, and a phone on a tripod. Camia is free and supported by ads. No account needed. Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later. Available in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
PoseSync

Two iPhones. One shoots, one watches. The person being photographed sees themselves through the other phone's lens in real time — and decides when to press the shutter, how far to zoom, where to stand. The model is the director. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open PoseSync on both iPhones: one picks "I'm the model", the other "I'm the photographer" 2. The model's phone finds the other one automatically — tap to connect 3. The model sees the live viewfinder. Both phones share the exact same controls: zoom, focus, shutter, countdown, exposure lock, pose reference WHY IT'S DIFFERENT · Truly low latency: over Wi‑Fi or direct peer‑to‑peer, end‑to‑end latency is usually under 100 ms — you can pose to it · Works offline: both phones just need Wi‑Fi switched on. No router, no data used · Two‑way controls: zoom, shutter or exposure changed on either side shows up instantly on the other, with a "remote" cue · Standing mark: the model drags on the picture; the photographer sees "They'll stand here" at the same spot · 48 built‑in poses in 8 sets — across the table, café, standing, sitting, walking, leaning, half‑body, crouching — each with a real photo and a line outline you overlay on the viewfinder, in 6 line colours · Your own reference: overlay a photo from your library — same image on both phones, with adjustable opacity, size and position · Composition guides: rule of thirds plus a headroom line · Exposure lock: stop brightness from jumping while you check your pose · Countdown: 3 / 5 / 10 seconds, counted down on both screens · Solo mode: pose outlines, grid and countdown work with a single phone too · Full‑quality photos stay on the photographer's phone; the model gets a preview instantly · Latency check: median and p95 in one tap, so you know whether to find a better Wi‑Fi FREE & PRO Take 20 photos free, with every pose and feature. PoseSync Pro (monthly, yearly or a one‑time purchase) removes the limit. Only one of the two phones needs Pro, and Family Sharing is supported. PRIVACY Video travels directly between the two phones. No servers, no uploads, no data collected. Requires two iPhones running iOS 17 or later with Wi‑Fi switched on. Allow "Local Network" access on first launch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Camera Remote Control at none against PoseSync's 5. Camera Remote Control also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PoseSync's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). On price there is nothing between them.
