360PV turns the 360° panoramas already in your photo library into an immersive sphere you can look around — no exporting, no re-importing, no uploading. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THEIR PHOTO LIBRARY DJI's own app only reads panoramas straight off the camera. If your photos live in the Photos library — and especially if you use iCloud Photos so one library follows you across iPhone and iPad — those 360° photos were effectively unreachable. 360PV exists to fix exactly that. Point it at your library and every panorama you own opens like a normal photo, on every device you own. WHY IT FEELS NATIVE - Finds the panoramas already in your library from capture metadata (GPano, DJI, Insta360, RICOH THETA and known cameras) - Reads the original from Photos only when needed, so nothing is duplicated and iCloud Photos with "Optimise iPhone Storage" works normally - Opens from the same library as the rest of your photos, with the same pinch, drag and share habits - New panoramas show up automatically, and the app catches up in the background LOOK AROUND - Drag, pinch and double-tap to explore - The spatial window follows your phone's motion, so turning the device turns the view - Drag or turn the phone — whichever suits the moment SAVE WHAT YOU SEE - Frame and capture the current view at 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 or 1:1, in portrait or landscape - Captures keep the source EXIF, GPS and capture time PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Scanning, decoding and rendering all happen on this device - No account, no analytics, no network requests, no tracking - Only the photos you grant access to are read SUPPORTED - iPhone and iPad on iOS / iPadOS 18 or later - Best with equirectangular (2:1) panoramas exported from Insta360, DJI Osmo 360, RICOH THETA and similar cameras 360PV is a viewer, not an editor: trimming, colour grading, stitching and tripod removal are intentionally out of scope.

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.
