iOS 27 Improves FaceTime in Three Ways

MacRumors · Jun 11, 2026, 1:27 PM

On the i Phone 17, i Phone 17 Pro, i Phone 17 Pro Max, and i Phone Air, a Dual Capture feature allows you to record video of yourself and what is in front of you at the same time. Starting with i OS 27, this feature is now supported in the Face Time app on these devices, allowing you to show both your front and rear camera views on a video call. 9to5Mac tested the feature on the iOS 27 beta, as seen in the screenshot below. Tapping on the camera flip button in the bottom-left corner of the viewfinder automatically turns on Dual Capture mode and begins showing the rear camera view alongside the front camera view. You can turn off the front camera view at any time if you prefer to. If the person on the other end of the call has an older iPhone, they can still view your dual camera feed as long as their device is running iOS 27.
