Using the green screen, you can replace the entire video background, add special effects, make things go invisible, and show a location you can’t travel to. Now, while these effects are best suited for powerful laptops and computers, it’s still possible to get passable results on your mobile phone. So, if you’re looking to use Chroma key effect on the go, here are the best green screen apps to use on Android and iOS.
