Assistive Access Selfie Mode (Video and Photo Upside Down)

After Setting up assistive access, I added the camera app, i enabled photo and video selfie mode. When I take a picture, it always takes the picture upside down. It’s so frustrating. My grandson set up assistive access to try to simplify the iPad for me, but this is making it harder. An apple advisor from the accessibility department recommended me to write on the discussion board to see if anyone else is dealing with this issue and if anyone had a solution. The apple advisor was not able to fix the issue, HELP PLEASE!

Re: Assistive Access Selfie Mode (Video and Photo Upside Down)


Wondering if it would help to remove and re-enable selfie mode for the Camera app ...

and / or to check for any options available, in case something was accidentally set.


Apple Support's online article may be helpful.

As we are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community no-one here gets to see what feedbavk or issues are reported to Apple. So unless some-one with a similar issue replies to you here, we have no way of knowing..

If you wish: You can send feedback to Apple yourself, to reach those who work behind-the-scenes, and can make changes to the software if others have a similar issue: We may see a change in a future update.

On searching further:

Discovered this discussion thread ... not using assistive access, but suggests a way to deal with upside-down photos (Sorry I don't know if there is any connection with your issue, or not.):


Iphone is sharing upside down photos - Apple Community

Eg: says:

"When "Mirror front camera" is enabled, selfie photos are correctly displayed in the gallery.

But when I share them through Whatsapp, they get upside down.

This issue won't happen if "Mirror front camera" is disabled."
