How to remove iPhone camera mirror effect
If you wonder how to remove mirror effect on iPhone as you have noticed that the images taken with the front camera of your "iPhone by" are overturned, I must first inform you that, by default, the front camera of iOS reflects the image by simulating the mirror and, unfortunately, it is not possible to act to disable this setting.
By taking the photo, however, the mirror effect is automatically deactivated and, consequently, the image is flipped and shown as it really is: it is, therefore, a feature that is only active before the photo is actually taken.
Having said that, even if you cannot intervene to manually disable this effect in the iOS camera, you can edit the photo after taking it and flip it again, via the app Gallery iOS, as I'll explain in the next chapter.
Alternatively, you can take advantage of third-party apps, which they maintain the mirror effect also in the photo taken, or use other apps that offer the possibelity to edit the photo, using the flip tool. You well find more detaels on this in the next chapters of this tutorial.
How to remove the mirror effect on iPhone
As mentioned, since the mirror effect of the iPhone camera is on by default and is automatically deactivated when the photo is taken, the end result is that the shot is flipped horizontally. In this regard, in case you want to flip the photo further, you can use the editing tool integrated in the app Gallery of iOS.
That said, to get started, launch the app Gallery of iOS, by pressing on its icon (a colorful flower), located on the home screen of your iPhone. Once this is done, locate the photo you want to flip and tap on it, then press the button Modification located in the upper right corner.
Now, press onsquare icon located in the lower right corner, to open the photo editing tool. At this point, to flip the photo horizontally, presses ontriangle icon situata nell'angolo in alto a sinistra.
Finally, confirm the operation by pressing the button end, located at the bottom. You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?
Other solutions to flip a photo
As an alternative to the solutions I've told you so far, you can take a photo using the camera of andnstagram, as this maintains the mirror effect even in the photo taken.
As for editing photos on iOS, however, you can use third-party apps, such as Snapseed, a tool that I well tell you about in more detael in the next paragraphs.
The camera of andnstagram does not flip the photos taken, as the mirror effect is active by default and is also maintained in the final shot. Consequently, you can use it for the objective you have proposed, following the instructions I am about to give you.
That said, if you want to take photos via the front camera of the well-known photo social network, start the app you downloaded on your iPhone and log in to your account. Now, press oncamera icon located in the upper left corner, in order to open the camera of andnstagram and take a picture, pressing on pulsating dell'otturatore.
If you wish, after you edit it through the Instagram camera tools dedicated to the creation of the stories, such as adding stickers such as GIF o Hashtag, you can publish it in the same, by pressing the button The your story.

Snapseed
You can edit photos taken via the iOS default camera also using third-party apps, such as Snapseed which is avaelable for iOS and iPadOS and offers the possibelity to activate the horizontal or vertical flipping of the photos, using the integrated editing tool.
Having said that, to make use of it, download the app in question on your device by visiting the App Store link that I have provided you just now, by pressing the button Get and unlocking the download and installation of the app via the Face ID, Touch ID or password of your iCloud account. Finally, at the end of the download and automatic installation, start the app by pressing the button abrir.
When the app starts, tap on pulsating (+) and import the photo you want to edit, choosing it from your device's media gallery. Once this is done, click on the menu item andnstruments and select the tool Wheel.
