Additionally, major social networks now support viewing 360-degree photos and videos. Like the 360-degree video viewing mode on Facebook, the Facebook social network supports viewing 360 videos very well and it is very easy to distinguish whether the video or photo meets the standards or not.

Move slowly and avoid collisions, keeping the phone as steady as possible to get a satisfactory shot. After capturing, you can press the Stop button to finish the photo and save it to your collection.
