 ### 💡 Others
 
+## 57.0.1 — 2026-07-07
+
+### 🎉 New features
+
+- Enabled responsive capture and fast capture prioritization on iOS for lower shutter lag and faster successive photo captures.
+
+### 🐛 Bug fixes
+
+- Host the iOS camera preview on the view's backing layer so it no longer zooms into place on launch. ([#47172](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47172) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- Replace the deprecated `videoOrientation` API with `AVCaptureDevice.RotationCoordinator` for the iOS camera preview. ([#47172](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47172) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- Fix dark frames and the preview rotating into place on iOS launch by fully configuring the camera session before it starts running. ([#47173](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47173) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- Default the iOS camera `pictureSize` to `photo` instead of `high`. ([#47173](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47173) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
