Camera access

Access the device camera on BrowserStack real devices. However, all our device cameras are taped, and accessing the camera displays a black device screen. You can upload images from your system to the BrowserStack real devices using the App Live image injection feature. The uploaded images are used as input to the device camera to simulate the action of capturing an image.

Pre-loaded images

The gallery in each device includes pre-set images and videos for your testing.

Network simulation

Network simulation enables you to test performance and behaviour of your app by simulating device network conditions. Use our in-session toolbar to switch between pre-set profiles such as 2G, 3G, and 4G. You can also set your custom network profile by configuring bandwidth, latency, and packet loss.

Test dependent apps

Install multiple apps on the device and test inter-app flows between the dependent apps, as defined here.

Device orientation

Test your app in landscape or portrait mode. Use our in-session toolbar to switch between orientations.

Uninstall apps

To uninstall apps, long-press apps on devices running iOS 12 and 13. Test long-press menu options across devices running iOS 13.
