Enabling View Outside the Frame on iPhone is really useful for smartphone photographers. If you’re a modern iPhone user with an iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or iPhone 14 model, you may have even noticed this nifty feature in your Camera app already.
By default, View Outside the Frame is disabled for photos and enabled for video, but it’s well-worth learning how and when to use this feature for photography.
Why? Well, as it says on the tin, this setting lets you see what’s outside the bounds of your photo’s frame. This helps you consider your composition, and whether you might want to shift it slightly, which comes in really handy for wide angle landscape or architecture shots.
View Outside the Frame is also useful for street photography, allowing you to keep a tab on what’s going on around you in the environment, and who might walk into your frame next. It’s for these reasons that many photographers love the optical viewfinders of DSLRs (and certain mirrorless cameras like the Fujifilm X-Pro3), which essentially do the same thing.
With this setting enabled, you can also zoom out (or, technically speaking, “crop out”) of your photo after it’s been taken, revealing a wider view beyond the original composition. This is really helpful when it comes to editing, as it means you can worry less about achieving the perfect framing when taking a photo in a hurry, or accidentally missing any key content on the outskirts of the frame.
Think of it as a second chance of snapping the perfect shot. Or perhaps a more flexible way of capturing great photos.
If you like the sound of the feature, it’s really easy to switch on. Follow the steps below to find out on how to use View Outside the Frame.

As you can see in the images above, you’ll now be able to see outside the bounds of your framing — make sure you don’t miss anything crucial. To get this to work, you may have to play around with zooms to switch between lenses. The feature works by using a wider lens (i.e. the main lens) to provide a preview when using the telephoto lens.
That’s all there is to it really —straightforward and easy to enable. If you ever need to use (or switch off) this feature, now you know how.
