Dual Shot records with your front and back cameras at the same time, so your reaction and the scene in front of you end up in one take. Vlogs, travel clips, interviews, reactions and reviews: film both sides of the story without switching cameras. Three layouts Overlay - One camera fills the screen and the other sits in a small window you can drag anywhere. Pick a rectangle, square or circle window right on the preview, or, on supported devices, a cutout that shows just you without the background Split - Both cameras in one video, stacked top and bottom Auto Switch - The video cuts between the two cameras every 2 seconds The preview shows the video as it will be saved. Change the layout or swap the cameras while you record. Photos from both cameras Switch to Photo and take a picture with the front and back cameras in one tap, as an Overlay or Split photo, with the same window shapes and the date, time or location stamp. Apple Watch remote See the shot on your Apple Watch, take a photo, or start and stop a recording from your wrist, with an optional 3-second timer. Needs watchOS 11 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PHOvid at none against Dual Shot's shown. PHOvid also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Dual Shot's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
