Record on iPhone with the front and rear cameras at the same time: picture‑in‑picture, side‑by‑side-style layouts, mix/composite views, chroma key, and reaction‑style video—built for vlogs and creative clips. Saves go to Apple’s Photos app on your device (your native gallery), not to our servers. Standard-range capture (not HDR). WHAT YOU CAN DO • Dual camera preview and capture using the front and rear cameras together. • Picture‑in‑picture style layout: position the selfie preview over the main camera (with frame options that fit your shot). • Split layout: see both cameras in a clear side‑by‑side style composition. • Chroma key style shots for simple cutout / virtual‑background style looks when it fits your setup. • Video / reaction workflow: combine live capture with a reference video or image when you use that mode. • Choose common aspect ratios for framing (e.g. 16:9, 4:3, 1:1) to match how you post. • Flash controls for front and rear where supported. • Save to your iPhone’s Photos library when you’re done—we don’t host or store your media on our servers; it stays in your native gallery unless you share it elsewhere yourself.
