Mostly, the only issue iPhone users found with the iPhone selfie camera is that it mirrors all the images. When you take a selfie on the iPhone, you get the mirror image of it and not the actual picture. To get the actual version, you had to flip the picture manually by editing. Well, not anymore with the iOS 14 update. You can now actually enable or disable the mirror front camera so that you can avoid getting the mirror picture from the selfie camera on your iPhone.
In this article, we will show you how to mirror images taken with an iPhone selfie camera on iOS 14.
