How do I set my iPhone camera to take selfies?

Answered by Frank Schwing

Setting up your iPhone camera to take selfies is a quick and easy process. With the release of iOS 14, Apple has introduced a new feature that allows you to take mirror image selfies. This can be particularly useful when you want to capture text or objects in your selfies without them appearing backwards. Follow the steps below to set up your iPhone camera for mirror image selfies:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. You can find the Settings app on your home screen, usually represented by a gray gear icon.

2. Scroll down the Settings menu and tap on “Camera.” This will open the camera settings options.

3. In the “Composition” section, you will find the “Mirror Front Camera” option. Tap on the slider next to it to enable this feature. By default, this feature is disabled.

4. Once you enable the “Mirror Front Camera” option, the slider will turn green, indicating that it is active.

5. Now, exit the Settings app and open the Camera app on your iPhone.

6. Switch to the front-facing camera by tapping on the camera icon located at the top right corner of the screen. This will activate the selfie mode.

7. Position yourself or the subject you want to capture in the frame and tap the shutter button to take a selfie.

8. Your selfie will now be captured as a mirror image, with text and objects appearing correctly without being reversed.

By following these steps, you can easily set up your iPhone camera to take mirror image selfies. This new feature introduced in iOS 14 offers added convenience and flexibility when capturing selfies, especially when you need to include text or objects in your photos. Enjoy taking mirror image selfies with your iPhone!
