Can you switch cameras while recording on all iPhone models? I have an iPhone 11, and I’m wondering if this feature works for me.
Yes, you can switch cameras while recording on your iPhone 11 as long as you’re running iOS 14 or later. This feature is available on most recent iPhone models.
I just tried this feature and it worked perfectly! I was able to switch from the rear to the front camera smoothly while filming my kids at the park. It really added a nice touch to the video. Just make sure you're in good lighting so the quality stays high when switching. I recorded a fun moment without missing anything!
