Candid takes a photo with your front and back cameras at the same time, so you keep both the memory and how you felt in the moment. The back camera gets what you're looking at, and the front camera gets your face while you look at it. Pick a layout, like a small bubble in the corner or a side-by-side split. Then save it or share it. Your original photo is never changed.
