==== Camera app ====

The Camera app gets two new features; time-lapse and self-timer. [[Time-lapse photography|Time-lapse]] records frames at shorter intervals than normal film frequencies and builds them into movies, showing events in a faster speed. Self-timer gives the user the option of a three-second or ten-second countdown before automatically taking a photo.<ref>{{cite web |first=Charlie |last=Sorrel |title=iOS 8 gives the Photos app superpowers |url=http://www.cultofmac.com/293717/ios-8-gives-photos-app-superpowers/ |website=Cult of Mac |date=September 18, 2014 |access-date=December 22, 2016 |archive-date=December 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161222153510/http://www.cultofmac.com/293717/ios-8-gives-photos-app-superpowers/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[iPad]]s can now take pictures in panoramic mode.<ref>{{cite web |title=iOS 8: New Features |url=http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8-features |website=[[MacRumors]] |date=September 28, 2015 |access-date=December 29, 2016 |archive-date=January 15, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170115084549/http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8-features/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
