Thirds Camera support

Thirds is a free iPhone camera that coaches your framing, then finishes the photo in a film-style editor. Everything runs on your phone. There's no account to sign in to.

Common questions

• How does Auto frame work? Tap Auto frame. The camera steps out to 0.5x, reads the scene on the device and places a guide frame on the strongest composition. Point the phone at the frame and Thirds zooms between 1x and 5x for you. When you're lined up, the shutter ring turns amber.
• The level keeps asking me to straighten. The level only gates the shutter when the scene has a clear horizon or strong vertical lines. A steady deliberate tilt over diagonals counts as a Dutch angle and is left alone.
• Where are my photos? Photos you take stay in the Thirds library until you save them. Tap Save in the editor to add the edited photo to your Photos library.
• Can I undo an edit? Yes. Edits are saved as a recipe next to the original, so you can reopen any photo from the library and change or revert it. Tap Original to undo Auto edit.
• What I saw vs what I took. After an Auto frame shot, open the compare view to save the wide scan and your framed photo as one combined image, or each separately.
• The camera or photos don't open. Check Settings → Thirds and allow Camera, Photos and Motion & Fitness. The rest of the app keeps working if you turn one off.
