Group Camera lets several people shoot one collage together, each from their own phone.

Getting started

Make a collage

Pick a grid on the home screen. Tap a cell to aim your camera into it, then press the shutter. Tap a filled cell to shoot it again. Save puts the finished collage in your photo library.

Shoot it together

Tap Invite photographer and share the link, or read out the code. Each person taps an empty cell and shoots into it; everyone sees the cells fill in, and a live preview of the shot someone is lining up. Up to 12 people can join one collage.

Join someone's collage

Open the invite link they sent you. Or open Group Camera, tap Join at the top left of the home screen, and type the code.

Shoot with the same people again

After you've shared a collage with someone, Reinvite adds them to your next one in one tap: their phone joins by itself, no new link needed.

No internet?

Phones on the same Wi-Fi can still shoot together. If Group Camera can't reach its server it says so, and the people nearby can join directly. Allow Local Network for Group Camera in the Settings app for this to work.

Apple Vision Pro

Vision Pro has no camera for apps, so tapping a cell there opens your photo library instead.

Common questions

"Cell taken"

Two people shot into the same cell at once, and the other photo arrived first. Your shot is still in your photo library; pick another cell.

My collage disappeared from the people I shared it with

A shared collage is a live shoot, not an archive: it ends a day after the last activity, and a week after it started at the latest. Save it to your photo library to keep it. Your own copy stays in the app.

How do I change my name?

Tap the person button at the top right of the home screen. The name is only shown to people in your shared collages.

How do I delete a collage?

Open it and tap the trash button. A shared collage is then ended for everyone in it.

Safety

Report a photo or a person

In a shared collage, tap the flag button at the top. Pick the person, the photo or the whole session, choose why, and send. Our moderators review every report. What you report is hidden for you at once.

Block someone

In the same place, tap Block next to their name. They can't invite you any more, you won't see their photos, and they aren't told. To undo it, open the … menu on the home screen and choose Blocked people.

If someone may be in danger right now, contact your local emergency number.

Privacy

Group Camera has no account and no sign-up. Read exactly what it does with your photos in our privacy policy. To have something about you deleted sooner, email us the collage's code and your name in it.
