Dual camera for couples: both of you, one photo
One of you is always behind the camera — so half your photos together are actually photos of one person. Selfie’s dual mode puts the photographer back in the picture: the back camera frames your partner or the scene, the front camera catches you, and both are captured in the same instant.
Short answer: Selfie shoots photos and videos with the front and back cameras at the same time, picture-in-picture, with 50+ vintage camera presets that apply to both. One tap captures both perspectives — no stitching, no second take.
Ideas that work
- The classic: partner and view on the back camera, you in the corner window — one tap, both of you.
- Date documentation: the restaurant plate or the concert stage plus both your faces, without asking a stranger.
- Long-distance material: dual videos with sound — narrate what you’re seeing while they see you.
How to set it up
- Open Selfie in Dual mode (the default).
- Drag the picture-in-picture window to the corner you want, and pick a frame color if you like.
- Optionally pick a camera preset — 35mm film, instant, VHS and 50+ more render live on both cameras.
- Tap the shutter for a photo, or switch to video mode and record with sound.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two views taken at exactly the same time? Yes. Selfie runs both cameras in one capture session using Apple’s multi-cam engine, so front and back are exposed simultaneously — not one after the other.
Can I record video this way? Yes — dual video records both cameras at once, with microphone audio.
Can I choose which camera is the big view? Yes, and the small window can sit in any corner, with a choice of frame colors.
What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
