Move a toy a tiny bit and press SNAP. Do it again, and again. Press Play and watch it move! Then add words, sounds, songs and rolling credits, and save your movie to Photos.
Stop motion is a magic trick made of tiny moves. Take a picture, move something a little, take another. Play them fast, and your toys walk, jump and fly.
Put a toy, a puppet or some clay in front of the camera. Move it just a little.
Press SNAP! to take a picture. The ghost shows your last picture, so you can see how far you moved.
Move, snap, move, snap. Press Play any time and watch it come alive.
Press Done twice and your movie is saved to Photos. Want words, sounds and songs first? Tap the pink magic wand to decorate it.
Kids get big buttons and bright colors. Grown-ups who want to go all out get a real timeline, keyframes and 4K.
Move something, take your hands away, and Auto Snap takes the picture once everything holds still, then plays the camera sound. Nobody has to touch the phone, so it never wobbles.
It won't take the same picture twice, and it waits while a hand is still in the picture. The hand check runs on your iPhone with Apple's Vision. Snap and Oops keep working the whole time.
The ghost is your last picture, shown faintly over the camera. Line things up, nudge them a little further, snap.
Add words and speech bubbles that pop in and wiggle. With Pro, emoji stickers too.
Open with a title, with a live preview. End with “The End”, or with rolling credits that pick up the song by themselves.
Turn the whole movie into an old film, a comic or a sketch with one tap.
Every movie saves itself as you go, so you can come back tomorrow and keep snapping. When it's finished, save it to Photos or share it.
54 sound effects, from boings, bonks and splats to robots, lasers and creaky doors, 9 songs, and a voice-over you record yourself.
My Songs brings your own music in from Files, the Music app, or any app's Share button and AirDrop. Add a song once and every movie can use it.
Turn on Studio mode in Grown-up Settings and the same app grows a full set of power tools, from manual camera controls to keyframes.
Inspired by the puppet stations at children's museums. Plug in a TV and a box of big buttons, and anyone can walk up and make a movie.
Connect a TV or monitor with a USB-C to HDMI adapter, or use AirPlay. The TV shows the live picture, the ghost and playback, and the phone becomes the remote.
Keyboards, programmable button boxes, foot pedals, game controllers (including the Xbox Adaptive Controller), Bluetooth camera remotes, the volume buttons, Camera Control and AirPods.
Hides the movie library and photo import, and opens straight into a fresh movie. Turn on Guided Access and the phone stays in the app.
Kids press Done twice. The movie plays on the TV while it saves to Photos, then a fresh movie starts.
A button box only has to act like a USB or Bluetooth keyboard. F13 to F17 never type anything by accident; the number keys 1 to 5 work too, and any key can be re-taught in Grown-up Settings. How to set up a station

Made for kids, so it collects nothing at all. Movies stay on your iPhone or iPad until you save or share them.
Pictures, sounds, songs and movies are kept inside the app on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded.
Auto Snap's hand check uses Apple's Vision framework, right on the device. The camera picture never leaves it.
No ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party code. The app makes no network connections of its own; purchases go through the App Store.
