Summary

  • Dual Capture in iOS 27 lets FaceTime users on iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air show front and rear camera views at the same time.
  • 9to5Mac said the beta enables the mode through the camera-flip button, which adds the rear view alongside the selfie feed and lets users turn the front view off.
  • iOS 27 also improves FaceTime quality on poor connections and adds Live Captions support in Traditional Chinese.
  • July is the target for the public beta, with the broader iOS 27 release expected in September; older iPhones can still view dual-camera calls if they run iOS 27.
