Dual Capture on the iPhone 17 lets you record both front and rear camera feeds simultaneously, making it perfect for vlogs, reaction videos, interviews, or live events. With this feature, you no longer need to switch cameras or devices—you get a full storytelling perspective in a single shot.

Step 2: Select Video mode
Step 3: Tap the Dual Capture icon (two overlapping cameras)
Step 4: Choose your layout: Split View or Picture-in-Picture
Step 5: Press Record to start capturing both perspectives simultaneously

The iPhone automatically handles framing and stabilization, so your videos stay smooth and professional.
