Changelog

A built-in Teleprompter, a photo backdrop for Face Mode, and steadier focus.

• New Teleprompter: read your script while you record. A new overlay scrolls over your preview at your own pace, visible only to you, never in the saved video or a screenshot. Find it in the widget tray.
• New Face Mode Backdrop: in Face Mode, swap out what is behind you with any photo from your library.
• Improved Steadier autofocus and tap-to-focus, plus a more accurate speedometer for speed and altitude, especially right after a stop, a turn, or when GPS is briefly weak.

Tap to focus and hold to lock, save your favorite overlays as a set, and free up storage from the Library.

• New Tap to focus, hold to lock: tap anywhere in the preview to focus right where you want, and press and hold to lock focus and exposure on that spot, just like the native camera.
• New My Widgets: save your favorite overlay widgets as a set and bring them all back with a single tap.
• New Free Up Space: clear recordings you have already saved to Photos and reclaim storage on your iPhone, right from your Library.
• Fixed Clearer recordings: the start and stop sounds and the confirmation haptic no longer bleed into your recorded audio.
• Improved Large text sizes: setup screens now scroll, so every button stays reachable at the largest text settings.
• Improved A smoother Library and speedometer, a faster launch, friendlier shared file names, and a number of smaller fixes.

Fixes the black camera preview that could appear with grid lines on.

• Fixed Camera preview now appears reliably every time, including with the grid overlay turned on.
• Improved Internal diagnostics improvements to help resolve issues faster.

Never lose a clip: automatic recovery, a new Library, and one-tap stop.

• New Automatic recovery: if a recording is interrupted, your clip is recovered and waiting in your Library when you reopen SplitRig.
• New New Library: browse all your recordings from the bottom-left of the camera screen, replay full-screen, and save to Photos.
• Improved Simpler stop: a single tap stops recording by default. When your activity is set to cycling or driving, SplitRig switches to hold-to-stop so handlebar or dashboard vibration cannot cancel a recording.
• Fixed Camera preview now appears reliably when you reopen the app.

Stability hotfix: crash fixes, a steadier speedometer, plus Smart Pause and split-tile reframe.

• Fixed Fixed a launch crash on iPhone 14 Pro and similar A16 devices on iOS 26.4.2.
• Fixed Speedometer now reliably recovers after relaunch when you grant location with "Allow Once".
• Fixed Speedometer no longer flickers between 0 km/h and a blank reading while standing still.
• Improved Improved stability on iPhone 11, 12, 13, and 14 during long recordings.
• New Split Screen tile reframe: pinch each half to switch between Fit and Fill, drag to pan.
• New Smart Pause: recording pauses when you leave the app and auto-resumes within 2 minutes.
• Improved Hold-to-stop survives motion: finger jitter on a handlebar mount no longer cancels the stop.

Polish, performance, and AirPods stem control on iOS 26.

• New AirPods Camera Remote support: stem press starts and stops recording on iOS 26 with H2-chip AirPods (Pro 2, Pro 3, AirPods 4).
• Improved Iron Stream thermal management: frame rate now scales down gracefully when the iPhone gets warm, instead of stopping the recording.
• Improved Apple Watch companion latency reduced for layout swaps and zoom adjustments.
• Fixed Picture-in-Picture size now correctly remembered across sessions.
• Fixed Edge case where Face Mode segmentation could flicker on extreme low-light scenes.
