No DSLR. No laptop. No problem.

Hearts shoots and edits everything on her iPhone 13. She says she "never" uses a traditional camera. She prefers the back camera for its higher quality, especially for intros and polished clips, but often switches to the front camera for spontaneous, face-to-face chats with her followers.
