How do I remove the "mirror" image on the front camera?

Hello,

My iPhone does it, too. I'll be in a text conversation with my friend, and I'll use the little icon to the left (iOS 10.3) of the message box; that pops up your picture/camera options. In iOS 10.3, there's a cool "on the fly selfie" option. I used it actually for the first time this morning, and when I viewed the picture, it put my head on the other side of the line (imagine the 4 coordinate planes we learned about in math). It does make me look different, so I revert to using Snapchat to take a selfie (the way I see myself in the mirror), then save that Snapchat selfie and send it in the default text messaging app that comes with the iPhone. I'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone or not.

Thank you.

Mine does that too! I have a canon power shot sx530 and it mirrors my face like the iPhone front camera does but it shows other things correctly. I know this is not how people see me because I use snap chat and their images aren't mirrored. I don't think I can fix this but on youtube, everyone else looks perfectly fine.. my brother looks perfectly fine when he takes a picture and his birthmark is on the right side of his face and in the image, it's on the right side.. for some reason, it's just me. I'm just gonna buy the Sony a5000 for youtube.. hopefully, it doesn't mirror the image. Even my laptop camera mirrors my pictures and videos like the iPhone!

Oh my goodness, it is so frustrating!! I have to use another app like Microsoft selfie or Snapchat and save the photo and switch apps! iPhone flips the image to distort my face giving me a horrible feeling about how I look.. my face looks lopsided lol I don't think there is a way to disable this.. if you find one, be sure to share!!

Hey hopefully you see this. But I totally agree with what your saying. And wanted to make sure you said your dslr camera doesnt mirror your image like iphone does? So once you take a selfie or a video on it you see what YOU see while your taking it ??

Also, if you don't like the feature then quit using the iPhone or any other Apple device.

You can leave feedback here Apple - Feedback

But it won't do you any good 🙂

HAVE A NICE DAYYYYYYYYYYY

When people are facing you, the mark is on their right, just like it looks when the phone takes the picture

I think the point of it is to make the picture show what you look like to other people

It's NOT what you really look like and it's not what a real life mirror shows. I was only asking if we can fix it! hoping to get an answer from and EXPERT obviously your not because you don't know what I mean.

Kramerjn01 is absolutely correct. What you look like to yourself in the mirror is NOT what other people see when they look at you. You're seeing a reversed image in the mirror. The camera is showing you what other people see. That's what you seem to have trouble understanding.

This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Being rude to people tends to decrease the likelihood that people will want to help you.

Try this: take a picture of a friend using the front facing camera of your phone. Without the friend moving, compare the picture to the way the friend looks to you. Perhaps that will make it clear to you what's happening.

Unless your iPhone is doing something different than every other iPhone in the world, it's not saving the image reversed.

Two other things to try:

1) Take 2 pictures of yourself - one with the regular rear-facing camera (this may take a couple of tries - or have someone else take the picture), & the other with the forward-facing "selfie" camera. Then compare the pictures.

2) Wear a hat with lettering on it (or a name tag). The picture should show the word(s) as being readable (not reversed) not matter what camera you use.

"Take a photo tilting your head to the left, and the image saves it tilting it to your right."

Also, try this...

Stand face-to-face with someone and ask them to tilt their head to the left. As they do this, you will see it tilt to your right ... magic!

Hi.

If your problem is that the camera facing you when you look at your screen (to take a selfie) is flipping your image, it might be the app you're using.

If you use the Camera app that comes standard with your iphone, your photos (selfies) will not be flipped. They'll appear the way you look in the world.

If you use Instagram, your photos (selfies) WILL be flipped. They'll appear the way you look when you spot yourself in a mirror.

That's just something I've noticed. Hope this helps!
