When it comes to taking a perfect selfie on the iPhone, one set of tricks don’t always deliver the right result, do they? That’s why it’s better to look for ways to refine images so that they appear more appealing.
Mirroring is a great way to make an image look better. And what could be an eye-popping feature for shutterbugs, iOS 13 offers a native tool to flip or unflip a photo on iPhone or iPad.
Just in case you aren’t much into photography and wondering why the heck you would ever want to flip your iPhone image, let me tell you that it’s a pretty neat photo editing tool that is used by pros for various purposes. For instance, if a subject in the photo looks towards the left, but you want it to look towards the right, this tool will come in super handy.
Not to mention, the iPhone automatically flips selfies after you capture them. While they still look nice, I personally like to mirror an image on my iOS device to improve aesthetic quotient. So, I’m really glad that it’s become a lot easier to do on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. Let me show you how it works the right way!
How to Flip a Photo in iOS 13 and iPadOS
Step #1. Launch Photos app on your iPhone or iPad and then choose a selfie that you want to flip.
Step #2. Now, tap on Edit and then hit the little crop tool that looks like two intersecting right angles.
Step #3. Next, tap on the triangles icon at the top left to quickly flip the picture on your iOS or iPadOS device.
To unflip the photo, simply tap on this icon again. That’s quite straightforward, isn’t it?
