You want the disposable camera look on an iPhone — without carrying a second camera or editing every shot afterwards in a filter app.

Short answer: Selfie shoots the disposable camera look live: pick the preset, frame, shoot. Filters render in the viewfinder before you capture — on photos and videos, and even with the front and back cameras at the same time.

What makes the disposable camera look

The disposable look is harsh direct flash, slightly blown highlights, muddy shadows, visible grain and just-off focus — the aesthetic of 2000s party photos, now everywhere on Instagram and Pinterest.

How to get it in Selfie

Selfie includes a dedicated Disposable preset in its 35mm film shelf, plus toy-camera and point-and-shoot presets in the same family. The look renders live, and grain survives into the saved photo.

The dual-camera twist

A disposable-style photo of the party and your own reaction, captured in the same press of the shutter — something a real disposable never did.

Frequently asked questions

Do I apply the filter before or after shooting? Before — the preset renders live in the viewfinder, and the saved photo or video matches the preview. There is no separate editing step.

Does it work for video? Yes. Presets apply to video recording as well, including dual front-and-back video with sound.

Can I use it with both cameras at once? Yes — that’s Selfie’s core feature. The disposable camera preset applies to the front and back camera simultaneously in picture-in-picture layout.

What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
