This app from 11 years ago, lets you do what the Add Me feature on the Pixel 9 does.
I thought the "Add Me" feature may have been gimmicky... Until I used it
Finally tried "Add Me" didn't work.
Everyones EXCITED about Add Me, I'm probably gonna use it to just shoot multiple pictures of myself.

I was on vacation with my family and we wanted to take a family photo. We were at a cabin, just the family, so there was no stranger to hold the phone for us. Not wanting to try and include 5+ people in a selfie, I decided to give Add Me ago. And... It actually worked pretty well on the first try. We got the photo! There is one small spot where, if you pixel peep, you can tell that there is some trickery going on, but at face value the photo is convincing.
Is it a "real" photo? No, and that bothers me a bit. But it was our last chance to get a photo together to remember our time together. And technically everyone WAS present in real life as in the photo, just at slightly different moments in time. The fact that I could do that so easily is so rad. With any other phone I we simply would have left the vacation without a good photo together.
Has anyone else used the feature to capture a special moment like this?
