iOS 27 gives FaceTime huge upgrade with this powerful new feature
iOS 27 brings exciting new features to Messages , Apple Notes , Wallet , and more . But FaceTime is getting one of the biggest upgrades thanks to a powerful new Dual Capture feature for iPhone 17 and newer.
iOS 27 introduces a groundbreaking upgrade to FaceTime, specifically for iPhone 17 and newer models. The new feature, dubbed Dual Capture, allows users to simultaneously view both front and rear camera feeds during a FaceTime call. This capability leverages the exclusive Dual Capture feature introduced in the Camera app with the launch of the iPhone 17 family last fall.
Dual Capture in the Camera app captures video using both the front and rear cameras concurrently. With iOS 27's integration into FaceTime, users on iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 can enjoy this dual-view experience. During a FaceTime call, tapping the 'Flip' button on the camera viewfinder activates Dual Capture mode, keeping the front camera active by default.
Another tap allows users to disable the front camera. While both participants must have iOS 27 installed for Dual Capture to be functional, those with older iPhones will still be able to view the dual-feed stream from compatible devices.
