Use one iPhone or iPad to see through another's camera and take the photo remotely. Set up your camera, check the framing on your other device, and tap the shutter when everyone is ready. WiFi Camera sends the full-size photo back to you, ready to save or share. CONNECT TWO DEVICES Install and open WiFi Camera on both devices. Find your other iPhone or iPad in the nearby list, tap to connect, and accept the invitation. You can also enable auto-accept for nearby invitations. SEE AND CONTROL THE CAMERA Watch the live camera view, switch between the other device's front and back cameras, and take photos remotely. When both devices have a camera, they can share their views with each other. KEEP THE ORIGINAL PHOTO Browse your photos in the app, zoom in to check the details, save to your photo library, or share the original image with the iOS share sheet. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use an iPhone as the camera and an iPad as the viewfinder, or connect two iPhones. The dark interface keeps the live view in focus, with clear controls and a small preview of your own camera. REQUIREMENTS • Two nearby iPhones or iPads with WiFi Camera installed and open. • This version requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. • At least one device must have an available camera. • Enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and allow Local Network access when prompted. A shared Wi-Fi network is recommended for live video. WiFi Camera connects Apple mobile devices to each other. It does not connect to standalone cameras, DSLRs, webcams, or IP security cameras, and it is not an internet-based remote monitoring service.

Great if You're Patient

This is truly a wonderful app, and I am anxious to give it five stars when the connectivity bugs are work out. When it works, it takes lovely photos remotely and allows the photographer to be a part of the photo without scrambling to set a timer. All he/she has to do is open the app on both devices, click accept on the one taking the photos, and go!That being said, I am in an area with a strong WiFi connection, and both devices are appropriately connected. There is a connectivity issue between the two devices. (I tried this first with two if my OWN devices--iPhone 4s and iPad 2 in case there were an issue of privacy, passwords, cross carrier... Etc.) A countdown circle with a zero in the center came up in the middle of the screen and sat there for the first several attempts. It wasn't until I lost connectivity, closed the app entirely, reopened it on both devices, and tried again that I realized that that countdown circle was supposed to let the user know when photos had been successfully uploaded. Out of approximately 10 photo attempts, only 2 were successful. The connection between the two devices was repeatedly dropped, and this was only with a distance apart of about a foot and a half. So far, I have only attempted a WiFi connection, but my experience is that WiFi is more reliable than Bluetooth. If my experience with a Bluetooth connection and this app proves different, I will amend my review. I would love to use and recommend this app, but until the bugs are out, I know MY friends will not tolerate regrouping repeatedly for a photo simply because I couldn't get my app to work.

This app is really helpful when I need to paste KT tapes on my back single-handedly. Hats off to the dev who keeps improving it over the years.

Garbage pure ugly garbage

No More Jello For Me
I actually bought this app based on an Apple review online, suggested by a so called “Genius”. This app is nothing more than me Alexa “drop in “call. It looks exactly the same. You cannot control one device or the other. You can only see what is going on. Had I want to use the Alexa drop in call, or just used iChat... it would be the same thing. It’s not a remote! Not at all..I’m asking for my money back from Apple. You don’t deserve my money. You should be taken off the store. Total rip off.

Doesn’t work to connect to a Canon camera

I purchased this app hoping to be able to connect my iPad to my wireless Canon camera. App connects great to iPad and iPhone, but not to my camera. After rereading the reviews and description I should have realized it was compatible. Please make descriptions clearer.
