Last year, Apple announced Continuity Camera, a feature that allows you to transform the iPhone’s rear-facing camera into a powerful Mac webcam. To increase your camera experience for Zoom conversations, FaceTime, and impromptu hands-on films, you must be running iOS 16 on your iPhone and macOS Ventura on the computer. You’ll have to wait till Android 14 to transform your phone into a camera. However, the functionality seems to be in the works.
At this time, the first Android 14 developer preview is not far away. That implies we’ll soon see a slew of leaks describing the improvements Google is working on for this year’s major software update. One of them is the ability to transform the Android phone into a webcam.
That’s a function lacking in the Android operating system, but it’s doable if you tinker with the phone and install the correct applications. However, as Android Central writes, doing so would need rooting the device. That’s an additional step for typical Android users who aren’t interested in such processes.
