Q: Can I use it with both cameras at once?

You want the fisheye look on an iPhone — without carrying a second camera or editing every shot afterwards in a filter app.

Short answer: Selfie shoots the fisheye look live: pick the preset, frame, shoot. Filters render in the viewfinder before you capture — on photos and videos, and even with the front and back cameras at the same time.

What makes the fisheye look

Fisheye is the ultra-wide, barrel-distorted look of skate videos and 2000s music videos: straight lines bow outward, the center pops, and everything feels closer and faster.

How to get it in Selfie

Selfie’s Fisheye preset applies the barrel distortion live — no cropping tricks, the preview shows exactly the warped frame you’ll capture.

The dual-camera twist

Fisheye works in dual mode too: warp the scene on the back camera while the front camera catches your (equally warped) reaction.

Frequently asked questions

Do I apply the filter before or after shooting? Before — the preset renders live in the viewfinder, and the saved photo or video matches the preview. There is no separate editing step.

Does it work for video? Yes. Presets apply to video recording as well, including dual front-and-back video with sound.

Can I use it with both cameras at once? Yes — that’s Selfie’s core feature. The fisheye preset applies to the front and back camera simultaneously in picture-in-picture layout.

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.
