Shared Camera turns two phones into a camera and a live viewer. One phone shoots, the other sees the picture in real time, over your own Wi-Fi or a phone's hotspot. HOW IT WORKS • On the viewing phone, tap "Receive Video" to show a QR code • On the shooting phone, tap "Send Camera" and scan it • Connected in seconds. No account, no sign-in WHAT YOU CAN DO • Watch the camera live, with sound • Zoom and switch between front and back cameras from either phone • Take photos and record videos with sound, saved to the Photos library of the phone you tap on • Turn the microphone on or off from either phone • Controls hide on their own for a clean, full-screen view GOOD FOR • Framing a shot when you can't see the camera's screen • Setting up tripod shots, low angles and group photos • Showing what one phone sees to someone nearby PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video travels directly between the two paired phones on your local network. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create. GOOD TO KNOW • Both phones need to be on the same Wi-Fi, or one phone shares a hotspot with the other • Some public Wi-Fi networks keep devices apart; use a home network or a hotspot instead • Works on iPhone and iPad, in 20 languages
