iOS 27 Released With New Dual Capture FaceTime Feature
iOS 27 adds a new FaceTime feature called Dual Capture.
It lets your iPhone show your face and what is in front of the phone at the same time.
Compatible iPhones use both cameras together to do this.
The person on the call can see you and the scene behind your phone.
You can turn on Dual Capture using the camera controls during a FaceTime call.
You can also turn off the front camera.
Then the other person will only see what the rear camera is recording.
The feature is designed to share yourself and your surroundings together.
iOS 27 introduces Dual Capture for FaceTime calls.
Dual Capture records the scene in front of the user while showing the user on the call.
Compatible iPhones use the front and rear cameras simultaneously for the feature.

Users can disable the front-camera feed and share only the rear-camera view.
