SayCheese – Remote Camera is a mobile application that allows you to capture photos and videos using two phones – one serves as the Camera and the other device works as the Remote. The app is available for Android and iOS and use the Nearby Devices feature to discover and connect the two phones.
When we travel as a group or family, we are often faced with a common and frequent issue – to find someone to take a picture of all of us together in one shot. If we are unable to find any person, we tend to leave someone out of the photograph to click the picture. SayCheese was precisely created to solve this problem as you can easily place one phone in the spot from where you desire to click the picture and control its camera from another device in your hand. You no longer need to find someone to take your photographs.
Once the photos are clicked, you can preview them in real time and share with whomever you wish. No Internet connection is required for the two phones to communicate with each other as they use the Nearby Devices feature. You can easily swap the two devices: Remote and the Camera, with just one tap.
