Single Take Mode

AR Zone

My Filters
– With My Filters, you can imitate the colors and styles of your favorite photos and apply them to new photos as you take them. Each filter you create will be saved in the Camera app for future use, so you can always use it again later.

Music Share
– With Music Share, extend your paired Bluetooth® connection to a car stereo or speaker via your device, so you and your friend can take turns DJ-ing during a road trip or party.

Quick Share
– Quick Share is the easiest way to send files to people nearby. This uses Bluetooth and WiFi to share files with any contacts with Quick Share enabled.
