Blur Background in Video — iOS
Separate presenters from clutter without a fast prime lens. BGBlur’s iOS flow mirrors the cinematic depth you market on /en/features/blur-bg—ideal for talking heads filmed on phones.
iPhone & iPad capture · cloud-grade models
Device renders come from public/images/mobile — the same kit as our Android pages — with App Store badge artwork and CloudFront stills aligned to bgblur.com feature funnels.
Background blur is a polish move: viewers forgive a soft environment more than they forgive shaky masks on faces. Use it for creator studios, WFH updates, and travel selfies where the scenery should not compete with the message.
Portrait depth relies on consistent edges; expect better results on locked-off shots than whip-pans. Stat-heavy specs vary by chipset—always preview before publishing. BGBlur blur background feature overview.
Also available on Android / Google Play.
When background blur beats object blur
If the whole environment is the problem—not a single logo—bokeh the backdrop. Reserve blur-anything for stray props or trademarks that survive a defocus pass.
Creator polish
Laundry baskets and ring lights vanish into pleasant gradients.
WFO & exec updates
Legal does not want client folders readable behind VPs—blur the shelf, not each binder.
Travel vlogs
Iconic skylines stay recognizable at f/1.4 fake bokeh while passport clutter softens.
Chip-aware exports
Long 4K timelines may still offload to cloud encoders on busy travel days.

Sometimes, but do not rely on bokeh for legal plate redaction—use the license-plate blur iOS landing when identification risk matters.
Fast pans can confuse depth models. Shoot static A-cam for critical interviews, then add motion in B-roll with lighter requirements.
