No longer need an app like Droidcam for this feature.

      They copy each other all the time. The idea that apple always copies android is just an Android fan boy idea.

        Not only that, a ton of features people think were originally Android back in the beginning where done by the original iPhone jail breakers or PalmOS. It works out great.

        I’m fairly certain DroidCam is also on iOS.

        Not trying to refute anyone, though I’d just add that.

            The kind that is irrelevant because it wasn’t a feature of Android. That’s why it’s being added now.

              Crazy that iOS doesn’t have the ability to play YouTube videos!

              Because according to you, if you have to download an app to gain functionality, it doesn’t exist.

              Maybe one day iPhones can watch YouTube.

                What a straw man! First off, YouTube.com exists so your point is not only stupid but wrong. And secondly, I never said that. This is a first-party feature being added to the OS a year after Apple added it to iOS. That’s why I’m comparing.

              If it’s something you can do easily by downloading an app, it’s a feature of Android or IOS. Built in OS features are just a convenience unless they add something because they’re built in.

                No it’s not. That’s incredibly dishonest. You think it’s coincidental that they’re just adding it now after it was added to iOS in the last update?

              It’s not Android’s fault for not being extensible enough.

              Note: iPhone user

                I don’t understand how it’s not Android’s fault that it didn’t have this feature. Whose fault was it then?

      no, but Apple always announces things they copied as a brand new thing never done before.

        Name one thing they have copied and said it had never been done before.

        They always say “new to iPhone” or “for the first time in an iPhone”.

          We’re responding to the most disingenuous audience on here. They aren’t going to reply with anything honest.
