Use the ‘Anti-AI’ Camera Apps Zerocam and Hallide to Keep Your Photos Looking More Natural

It’s still possible to just take normal-looking photos. Use these apps for Android and iOS to give your phone’s camera a more natural eye.

Zerocam proudly promotes its anti-AI ethos, describing itself as “the simplest way to take photos,” with the idea being that it's as close to an actual point-and-shoot camera as possible. It feels liberating to just point and shoot without worrying about anything else—and the Zerocam social media feed is full of examples of the great photos you can snap with this app. The photographs you take eschew the digital manipulations that iPhones apply by default, which means there's less of a safety net when it comes to post-processing bad photos.
