After clearing the cache, restart the Omegle app and see if the camera is no longer inverted.

By following these simple steps, you can easily fix the issue of a inverted camera on Omegle on your iPhone. Remember to check your camera settings, restart the app, and clear the cache if necessary. Now you can enjoy video chatting on Omegle without any camera issues!

If none of the above steps resolve the camera issue, it’s recommended to contact Apple Support or bring your device to an authorized service center for further assistance.

FAQ

How can I stop the camera from being inverted on Omegle on my iPhone?

To stop the camera from being inverted on Omegle on your iPhone, you can try a couple of solutions. First, try restarting the Omegle app or refresh the webpage if you’re using the browser version.
