As a result, after snapping a selfie on your iPhone, you might notice that the saved image in the Photos app isn’t exactly how you saw it while taking the picture. And in many cases, you may even dislike the final image.
To fix this, you can enable an option that ensures the selfies don’t appear flipped and look identical to what you see in the camera viewfinder when taking the picture.
How to Take a Mirrored Selfie on an iPhone
Follow these steps to stop iPhone selfies from mirroring, flipping, or turning around automatically:
Open the Settings app and tap Camera. Turn on the switch for Mirror Front Camera or Mirror Front Photos. Open the Camera app and switch to the front camera to take mirrored selfies.
Please note that this setting applies to both photos and videos you take using the front camera on an iPhone XS, XR, and later. On the iPhone 6S up to the iPhone X, it applies only to photos. Videos will continue to flip.
In case you don’t see the above option, make sure you update your iPhone to iOS 14 or later.
You Need to Manually Mirror Selfies on Older Devices
Mirrored selfies are only available on iPhones running iOS 14 and later. If you have iPhone 6 or earlier, this feature isn’t available as those devices are can’t update iOS 14 or later.
Therefore, you’ll have to flip the photos manually on an old iPhone, or one running iOS 13 or earlier. You can do this using the editing tools in the built-in iOS Photos app or via third-party apps.
