How to Add Photo Booth to the iPhone

Photo Booth is a fun way to snap photos using the Mac iSight camera for OS X users. Several filter effects applied in real time have given countless photos the Photo Booth look. Now iPhone owners with jailbroken devices can install a port of Photo Booth to get these effects on the go.

Once installed, the Photo Booth app icon is added to the home screen. Opening the app will present nine preview thumbnails updated in real time for each effect. The standards Thermal Camera, Mirror, X-Ray, Kaleidoscope, Light Tunnel, Squeeze, Twirl and Stretch surround a center panel dubbed Normal with no effect applied. Simply tap the effect of your choice to start the Photo Booth camera.

When the app is first opened, it defaults to the front-facing iPhone camera. Once camera mode has started, tapping the camera icon in the lower right flips the view to the rear-facing camera if desired. Snapping photos with the Photo Booth filter applied is identical to capturing images with the stock Camera app. The resulting images are stored to the Camera Roll.

Photo Booth (iOS 7) for iPhone is available on Cydia from the BigBoss repo for free. Check here for instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 7.x with evasi0n 7. You can also find out how to purchase and install Cydia tweaks with this guide.
