Save your perfect frame

Set your composition and lock a camera frame as a transparent guide. Your partner can follow the framing and on-device guidance instead of guessing where to stand or point the phone.

InstaBF Inspiration feature: a reference photo ghosted over the live camera preview to match the pose
Inspiration

Recreate a photo you had in mind

Import a reference photo from your library or a supported web link. Keep it visible over the live camera while you and your photographer recreate the framing.

What is InstaBF?

InstaBF is an iPhone camera app that helps your boyfriend, partner or friend follow the photo you have in mind. A locked frame or reference overlay gives your photographer a visual guide.

How do I help my boyfriend take better photos?

Choose the light and crop, take a test frame, then swap places. In InstaBF, lock that frame before handing over your phone so your partner can match it. Review a short set together and adjust one thing at a time.

Is InstaBF free, and which iPhones can use it?

InstaBF is free to download on the App Store and requires iOS 17.0 or later. Check the App Store listing for the latest compatibility information.

Do I need an account, and where are my photos stored?

No account is required. Captures and inspiration images stay in the app on your device unless you choose to export or share them.

Can InstaBF take candid photos without someone pressing the shutter?

Yes. Candid mode captures a series of 3, 6 or 9 photos with Random or Smart timing. Support your phone on a stable surface, choose your frame, then move naturally and select your favorites afterward.
