Two cameras. One video.
Dual Camera records your iPhone's front and back cameras at the same time, into a single video — so what you're filming and your reaction to it land in the same shot. Made for reaction videos, vlogs, travel clips, tutorials, interviews, podcasts and property tours.
It takes dual-camera photos too: switch from Video to Photo above the shutter and both cameras land in one still.
What you see on screen is exactly what gets recorded — layout, filter, green screen, background removal and all.
What it does
- Front and back together — both cameras in one video, live.
- Your layout — picture-in-picture with a floating bubble, or split-screen side by side or top and bottom. Drag the divider to set the split.
- Single-camera mode too — shoot some clips with one camera and others in dual, and they save as one video.
- Shape the bubble — drag it anywhere, pinch to resize, pick its shape, round the corners, add a border.
- Green screen, without a green screen — in single-camera mode, replace the background behind you with a blur, a solid colour, or your own photo.
- Background removal — keep just the person from the small camera and drop them over the main one, no green sheet needed.
- Photos as well as video — capture both cameras in one still, with the same layouts, filters and beauty.
- Beauty — smooth and brighten skin, on whoever's facing the camera.
- Ten live filters — applied to both cameras at once.
- Record in clips — pause, resume, remove a clip you don't want, and save them all as one video straight to Photos.
- The controls you expect — torch, tap to focus, pinch to zoom, lens switching, self-timer and a composition grid.
Common questions
Can you record with the front and back camera at the same time on iPhone?
Yes. Dual Camera records both cameras simultaneously into a single video, either picture-in-picture or split-screen. It needs an iPhone XS or newer, because capturing from two cameras at once is a hardware feature.
Which iPhones can record both cameras at once?
iPhone XS and newer. Older iPhones can't capture from two cameras at the same time, and neither can the iOS Simulator or the Mac and Apple Vision “Designed for iPhone” runtimes.
Is there a free dual camera app with no watermark?
Dual Camera is free and adds no watermark to your videos or photos. There are no ads, no account and no subscription.
Can I use a green screen effect without owning a green screen?
Yes. In single-camera mode the app separates you from your background and replaces it with a blur, a solid colour, or a photo of your own — no physical green sheet, and all processed on your iPhone.
Can I take a photo with both cameras at the same time?
Yes. Switch from Video to Photo above the shutter and the app captures both cameras in one still, using the same layouts, filters and beauty as video.
Does it upload my videos, or need an account?
No. The app makes no network requests at all, and there's no account or sign-in. Recording, background removal, beauty and filters all run on your iPhone, and your videos and photos are saved only to your own photo library.
Is Dual Camera available on Android?
No — it's an iPhone app, and needs iOS 17 or later on an iPhone XS or newer.
