Bil_FernandezQ: How do I take a 360 panorama with an iPhone?
My iPhone 15 Pro only lets me take a 180° panorama. How do I get 360°? Can I stitch together two 180° panoramas? (Your online help for Tours has no answers.)

The default panorama mode on iPhone (including iPhone 15 Pro) typically captures less than a full 360°, so you won’t get a complete sphere using the native camera alone.
--How to get true 360°
You have a few options:
1 Use a 360 camera (recommended for best results)
Devices like Insta360 or Ricoh Theta capture a full 360° in one shot, which works perfectly.
2 Use a mobile app that supports 360 capture
Some apps allow you to capture a full spherical image by rotating in all directions (not just left-right).
--About stitching two 180° panoramas
Technically possible, but:
❌ Not recommended
❌ Alignment issues are very common
❌ Can break navigation and scene quality
Crezlo works best with proper equirectangular 360 images, so stitched partial panoramas may not give a good experience.

OK, I do expect that a dedicated 360° camera would give better results than a smartphone, but your product pitch explicitly said "Upload photos or videos from any camera", and the iPhone being one of the most common consumer cameras, I expected it to be usable — albeit with less stellar image quality. I'll see if I can find a 360° photo app for my iPhone.
That’s a completely fair expectation — and you’re right to call it out 👍
When we say “upload photos from any camera”, that does include iPhones. You can use your iPhone to create panoramas and upload them into Crezlo.
What’s happening with iPhone panoramas
The native iPhone pano typically captures partial (around 180°) images
When used in a 360 viewer, the edges don’t perfectly connect, which can make the scene feel a bit off or “open”
How to improve results on iPhone
You can still use your iPhone, but for better output:
Use a 360 photo app that captures a full spherical image
These apps guide you to move the phone in all directions (not just left to right)
This helps close the edges properly and creates a more natural 360 experience
Bottom line
iPhone works
Native pano = usable but not perfect
360 apps = much better results without needing extra hardware
So you’re on the right track — using a 360 capture app will make a noticeable difference.
