How to take a photo with the front and back camera at once
DualCapture takes a photo from both iPhone cameras in one tap, alongside its video recording. Your iPhone needs an A12 chip or newer for Apple multi-camera capture, and the app needs iOS 18. Open the app, pick a layout, and tap the shutter.

For a reaction or a vlog, record video. Photos suit a quick before-and-after or a BeReal-style post; see BeReal-style camera.
