Panorama vs 360 Image

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.

Capture everything around you in one photo. Stand in one spot, turn around with your iPhone or iPad and follow the dots. 360 Image takes every shot for you and stitches them into one detailed 360° photo, up to 8K, that you can step back into any time. JUST TURN AROUND • One yellow dot shows where to aim next, and an arrow points the way when it is off screen. • Hold the dot in the circle and the shot is taken automatically, the moment the device is steady and sharp. • A tilt guide and clear on-screen tips keep every shot level and in place. • Exposure and white balance are locked for the whole capture, so the sky and the shadows match all the way round. STITCHED ON YOUR DEVICE • Your shots are stitched right on your iPhone or iPad. No account is needed. • Photos up to 8K: 8192 × 4096 pixels, over 33 megapixels. Zoom in, and the details are still there. • The app knows exactly where the camera pointed for every shot, and on devices with LiDAR it also measures how far away things are, so nearby objects line up. • Colours and brightness are matched between shots, and the seams are placed where the photos agree. LOOK AROUND BY MOVING • Turn your phone or iPad to look around, as if you were standing there again. • Drag with a finger, pinch to zoom, or switch motion control off. • One tap puts the horizon level. STEP INSIDE WITH DEPTH • Photos captured with depth let you move your head inside them: near things slide in front of far ones as you look around. • A small 3D model shows the photo’s surroundings and turns as you do. Open it full screen to turn and zoom it. • Share the 3D model as a USDZ file, a standard 3D format that opens in Reality Composer and other 3D apps. TOURS • Put photos of a place together into one 3D model, and step from photo to photo inside it. • The app works out where each photo was taken. If it can’t, or gets one wrong, drag the photo into place yourself. • Erase stray bits from the model. • Share the whole tour as one 3D model. Tours sync through iCloud. SEE WHERE YOU WERE • A small map shows where the photo was taken and which way you are looking. Tap it for a full-size map. • Street names on the ground, landmarks on the horizon, and the weather on the day the photo was taken. Each can be switched off. • Your other photos taken nearby appear inside the photo. Tap one to go there – between photos with depth, you fly from one into the next. KEEP AND SHARE • All your 360° photos in one gallery, as a grid or on a map. Filter by depth, location and compass. • With iCloud, your gallery is the same on all your devices. Nothing to set up. • Deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. • Save to Photos or share them at full resolution. Photos keep their 360° information, so apps and sites that support 360° photos show them as a sphere. • If you allow it, the place and direction are saved in the photo too. OPEN ANY 360° PHOTO • View 360° photos from other cameras and apps, from Photos or Files, or with “Open in 360 Image”. Import several at once. A device with LiDAR gives the best results with objects close to the camera.
