Instagram’s Hyperlapse app allows users to create polished time lapse videos using their iPhone or iPad. The app uses the gyroscope and other software customizations to capture smooth time lapse videos that would be difficult to capture with a high-end camera.

The app, which comes with basic settings and controls, allows users to record video at 720p, with the option of speeding up their video up to 12 times. YouTube user hoschdebacha has discovered a collection of advanced settings hidden inside the app.

To access the hidden settings, tap the screen four times with four fingers. A new “Labs” menu will appear with options that allow you to change the video quality to 1080p, change the frame rate, change the save location, and a lot more.
