Two cameras. One video. Both sides of the moment. Dual Camera records your front and back cameras at the same time, into one video. What you are filming and your reaction to it end up in the same shot. Great for reaction videos, vlogs, travel clips, tutorials, interviews, podcasts and property tours. It takes photos with both cameras too. Just switch from Video to Photo above the round button. LAYOUTS - CHOOSE HOW IT LOOKS - One camera big, the other in a small window you can move and resize - Both cameras side by side, or one above the other - Or just one camera on its own GREEN SCREEN - CHANGE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU Using one camera, the app separates you from your background and puts something else there: a soft blur, a plain colour, or any photo from your library. You do not need a green screen, and it all happens on your iPhone. BACKGROUND REMOVAL - PUT YOURSELF ON TOP In the small window layout, the app can remove the background from that window, so only you appear over the main camera. SEPARATE ANGLES - KEEP EACH CAMERA ON ITS OWN Record with both cameras and you also get each one saved on its own. Useful if you want to edit later, or use only one of them. Turn it off if you just want the single video. BEAUTY - LOOK YOUR BEST Choose Natural, Smooth, Glow or Bright, or set your own smoothing, brightness and warmth. It only softens skin where there is actually a face, so everything else stays sharp. TEN FILTERS Mono, Noir, Vivid, Warm, Cool, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Process and Transfer. You see them while you film, so what you see is what you get. RECORD IN SHORT CLIPS Record, pause, then carry on. Each clip appears in a row at the bottom. Delete any you do not want, then save the rest as one video. You can change the look between clips. ANY WAY YOU HOLD IT Turn your iPhone sideways and your photos and videos still save the right way up. ALSO INCLUDED - Photo size: choose the size and shape of your photos - Location tagging: remember where a photo or video was taken, if you want - All four back cameras: 0.5x, 1x, 2x and 5x - Tap to focus, pinch to zoom, flashlight - A 3 or 10 second timer - Grid lines - Swap which camera is the big one, any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, and no internet connection at all. Your photos and videos are made on your iPhone and saved to your own photo library. Location tagging stays off unless you turn it on, and even then the location is only written into your own files and never sent anywhere. Needs iPhone XS or newer. Recording both cameras at once needs hardware that older iPhones do not have.

For picture-in-picture, keep your selfie in a movable PiP window and adjust its size, shape and border. Swap the main and inset views to suit the shot.
