We asked, you told us: Most readers barely use panorama mode on their phones
June 13, 2025
Panorama mode is included in mostsmartphone cameraapps nowadays. While the mode does allow you to shoot scenes wider than usual, it’s cumbersome. Buried away in some apps, it’s also pretty easy to forget, too.
With that said, we asked youin this pollhow often you use panorama mode on your phone. Here’s what you told us.
When was the last time you used panorama mode on your phone?
The majority of the ~1,500 polled readers either haven’t used panorama mode in over a year or have never used the mode. Just over 50% of respondents fall into one of these two categories. Notably, 14.5% of our readers are regular users of panorama mode on their devices. These respondents used it within the “last week.” Around 22% of readers are less frequent panorama mode users, employing it in the “last few months.” Just under 14% of readers remember using the mode within the “last year.”

Panorama mode’s fall from grace is understandable. It was an awfully useful software trick for phones with single lenses. But as more devices spawned multiple camera arrays, including dedicatedwide-angle shooters, panorama mode has seemingly fallen to the wayside.
However, some feel ultra-wide cameras are not a direct replacement for panorama mode. These readers were out in full force in the comments section.
