Conclusion
You might be wondering why the images you take with your iPhone’s front-facing camera don’t seem the same in the final form as they did when you took them.
Looking in the viewfinder of your camera app while taking a selfie with the selfie camera will be similar to looking in a mirror. Because this is how we perceive ourselves in mirrors, it does not register as being reversed.
Photographs saved to your Photos app, on the other hand, will not be mirrored in this fashion, which may result in an image that you despise.
The images you take using your iPhone’s front-facing camera will differ from the photos in the images app.
This happens because what you see when you take the shot is meant to look the same as what you see when you look in the mirror.
However, after capturing the photograph, the iPhone will alter it to show the image as it would appear to others.
When you look at yourself in the app’s viewfinder while wearing a shirt with typography, the text looks reversed.
The final image, however, will flip that text so that it reads correctly.
You can modify a setting on the iPhone so that the finished image looks exactly like the one you saw when you snapped the photo.
