Even when iPhone rotation lock is enabled, you can switch the review screen inside the app.

This is useful when checking horizontal videos without changing the iPhone system rotation setting.

Recording continues even when the screen is dimmed.

You can wake the screen by tapping it or using voice control.

Guide:

Recording Stability

To keep recording stable, some camera switching operations are restricted during video recording.

During recording, the app may show messages such as:

This is to help prevent recording interruption or the torch light turning off.
