Dualgram alternatives for iPhone (2026)

If you want the most established front-and-back camera app, that is MixCam — the biggest install base in the category (4.7 stars across nearly 6,000 ratings, against Dualgram's ~2,700) and the widest set of layouts. Pick Double Camera for a simpler, cheaper take, and Selfie if you want the dual shot to look like something — it is the only one here with a real vintage-preset system.

What to check before you switch

Several apps in this category advertise "dual camera" but capture back-then-front sequentially rather than simultaneously. If both halves of the shot need to be the same instant — a reaction, a moving scene — check that the app uses Apple's multi-cam engine. Everything listed below does.

The alternatives, honestly

MixCam — the established one. The default recommendation in this space: several layouts including split-screen, a large user base, steady updates. Downside: filters are basic, so the output looks like exactly what it is — two camera feeds in a frame.

Double Camera — the simple one. Straightforward dual capture without much ceremony. Downside: fewer layout options and little styling.

2Cam — the video-leaning one. Focused on dual video recording. Downside: a smaller catalogue of layouts and a much smaller user base, so fewer eyes on bugs.

Dualgram Pro — the same team, more features. If your issue with Dualgram is missing features rather than the app itself, the Pro version is the shortest path.

Selfie — dual capture with a look. Simultaneous front-and-back photos and video, plus 50+ vintage camera presets — 35mm film, medium format, instant, VHS, CCTV, thermal — rendered live on both cameras. Picture-in-picture window can move to any corner, with frame-colour choices. Weaker than MixCam on layout variety; the only one that applies a film look at capture. Free to download, iOS 17+.

Choosing without overthinking it

• You want the safest, most-used option: MixCam.
• You want the shot to have an aesthetic: Selfie.
• You want simple and cheap: Double Camera.
• You mostly shoot dual video: 2Cam or MixCam's video-focused sibling.

Frequently asked questions

Do all dual-camera apps capture both sides at the same time? No. Some capture back then front in quick succession — fine for a static scene, wrong for a reaction. True simultaneous capture uses Apple's multi-cam engine.

Which Dualgram alternative has filters? Selfie is the one built around them: 50+ vintage camera presets applied live to both cameras, for photos and dual video with sound.
