That feature was baked into the Galaxy S7, so back home with my OnePlus 3, I hunted for reliable Android alternatives. Many apps promise this, but only a handful deliver. Here's my tested picks. Prefer video? We've demoed them for you.

1. PicPlayPost

Start with PicPlayPost, a free download. On first launch, it prompts an in-app purchase to remove ads and watermarks—worth considering. Choose from diverse frame styles and video ratios; it supports up to 6 videos in a collage.

2. Video Collage

Video Collage shines with no watermarks in the free version—ads are minimal to support devs. No built-in trim or edit, so use full clips or pre-edit externally.
