I used to do street photography on my iPhone.
Now I shoot with incredible Fujifilm x100f and the pocketable Ricoh GR II.
(Update: Today, I actually use the X-T3 from Fuji. A brand new camera that is perfect for street photography)
The best street photography camera is the one you with you when you see a cool shot.

Here I will lay out what I did to take better photos using my phone.
This guide is about the best Apps for Mobile Photography.
