2Capture lets you record both of your iPhone's cameras at the same time, with a draggable picture-in-picture bubble that bakes right into the saved photo and video. — What you can do — • Record both front and back cameras into a single composited video • Snap dual-camera photos with the bubble in any position • Drag the front bubble anywhere on screen • Pinch to resize from small to large • Tap to swap which camera is fullscreen and which is the bubble • Switch instantly between Photo and Video with a swipe — Pro-grade controls — • 4K and 1080p at 30 or 60 fps (filtered to what your device actually supports in dual-cam mode) • HDR toggle for brighter highlights and richer skin tones • Stereo audio captured from the built-in mic array • Orientation locks during recording so your clip never flips mid-shot — Built for creators — • Vloggers: capture your reaction and the scene at the same time • Tutorial makers: face cam plus what's in front of you, baked into one file • Travel diarists: that one shot where you're in the frame AND the view is in the frame • Reaction videos: the back camera shows the thing, the front shows your face • Workouts and demos: form check from both sides simultaneously — Honest design — dualCapture is single-purpose. No filters, no stickers, no logos forced onto your clips. Photos and videos save to your Photos library as standard JPEG and MP4 — yours to share, edit, or repost wherever you want.

DualCam

Record video and take photos with both iPhone cameras at the same time. DualCam combines the front and rear views into one file while you shoot, so there is nothing to edit or stitch together afterwards. LAYOUTS - Picture in picture: the small window can be dragged anywhere in the frame, not just parked in a corner. Let go near an edge and it snaps into alignment. Switch it between a circle and a rounded square. - Split top and bottom - Split left and right Change the layout in the middle of a recording and the frame follows instantly. No need to stop and shoot again. PHOTOS FROM BOTH CAMERAS One press of the shutter captures both cameras and saves a single photo, already composed, in exactly the layout you see on screen. What you frame is what you get. WHILE YOU SHOOT - Live filters, applied as you record - Pinch to zoom, tap to focus - Exposure adjustment - Countdown before recording starts - 9:16 or full screen aspect ratio - Flashlight, grid, mute GOOD FOR Reaction videos, travel and food vlogs, interviews and two-sided conversations, tutorials where your face and your hands both matter, and moments where the person filming belongs in the shot. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, nothing uploaded. What you shoot goes straight to your photo library. REQUIREMENTS DualCam uses the multi-camera hardware in iPhone XS and later. Earlier iPhones cannot run both cameras at once.
