iPhone Mirror Selfie: How To Unflip Selfies On iPhone 2022

Fronten værelse på din iPhone flips photos when you capture them. Much to your surprise, it actually unflips them. If you are wondering why it does so then you should continue reading this article. Here in this guide, we share why your iPhone camera flips the picture.

You will also learn how you can take selfies without flipping and also flip photos on your iPhone that are already taken and stored on your Camera Roll.

Why Does My iPhone Camera Flip The Picture?

When you open your iPhone’s front-facing camera to take a selfie, you see a mirror image.

It is because of the fact that we are used to looking at ourselves in the mirror hence the camera is designed to show us exactly that.

However, once you tap on the capture button, the photo gets unflipped and then saved to Camera Roll. This means that the photo you see in the Camera Roll is an exact match to how you looked while capturing the photo and not what the Camera app showed.

It might seem strange at first but once you understand this then you will know that your selfie is actually unflipped.

For better understanding look at the screenshots below and observe the text on the book before and after taking the selfie. What you see on the left is a mirror image.

If the iPhone front-facing camera didn’t unflip your picture then all your selfies will be mirror images and the ones clicked with the rear camera will be real or correct ones. This is of course is bizarre.

That said, we as users would like to have mirror selfies and mirror images. Fortunately, iOS has a setting to do it starting from the iOS 14 version. Let’s dive in!
