Which iPhones support dual camera recording?
Recording two iPhone cameras at once needs multi-camera capture. Here is which models have it, and what to check before you film.
By the Dualsy team ·
Recording the front and back cameras at the same moment is not a trick an app adds on top: iOS has to run both camera sensors together. Apple calls this multi-camera capture, and it was introduced with iOS 13.
The short answer
Apple's multi-camera capture runs on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and newer models. Older models record one camera at a time. Dualsy itself needs iOS 15 or later.
Before you film
- Update iOS: Dualsy needs iOS 15 or later.
- Free up storage: two cameras write two files.
- Charge up: running two sensors uses more power than one.
- Let the phone cool down after long takes in the sun.
