See the whole place, not just a slice of it. Panorama turns your iPhone into a spherical-panorama camera. Sweep the phone around you and Panorama captures the scene in every direction — up, down, and all the way around — then stitches it into a single seamless image you can step back into anytime. Capture Follow the on-screen guide as you pan across the scene. Panorama grabs frames automatically as you cover new ground and stitches them on-device in seconds — no waiting, no upload. Relive it Open a saved panorama and look around by simply moving your phone — tilt up to the sky, turn to see behind you — or drag and pinch to explore. It feels like standing back in the room. Keep it, share it Every panorama is saved to a tidy library on your device and remembers where you took it. Share to anyone as a standard panoramic image — AirDrop it, save it to Photos, drop it in Files, or send it to a VR headset. Take it further Turn any panorama into a tiny-planet image, a flat photo of any direction, or a cinematic video flythrough — with the scene's own ambient sound if you choose to record it, and a 9:16 Story cut for Instagram. Post the 360 itself to Google Photos or Facebook and it stays interactive. Private by design Panorama has no account, no cloud, and no servers. Capture, stitching, storage, and sharing all happen on your iPhone. Nothing is collected, tracked, or uploaded — your panoramas stay yours. Capture the sunrise from your balcony, the whole living room, a mountaintop, a favorite café — and keep the entire view, forever, on your phone.
