If you are an iPhone user and love taking photos and videos, you may have wondered how to invert or flip the camera on your device. Whether you want to capture a selfie or record a vlog, knowing how to use the front-facing camera can come in handy. In this article, we will explore the step-by-step process of inverting the camera on your iPhone.
To start, open the Camera app on your iPhone. This app comes pre-installed on all iPhones and can be found on the home screen. Once the Camera app is open, you will have the option to choose between the rear-facing and front-facing cameras. By default, the rear-facing camera is activated.
To switch to the front-facing camera, simply tap on the camera flip icon located at the top right corner of the screen. This icon looks like two arrows forming a circle. When you tap on it, the camera will smoothly switch to the front-facing mode, allowing you to take photos or record videos of yourself.
It’s important to note that some iPhone models may have different camera flip icons or options. For example, on older iPhone models, you may need to swipe up or down on the screen to access the camera flip feature. However, most recent iPhone models have a consistent camera flip icon at the top right corner, as previously described.
In conclusion, inverting or flipping the camera on your iPhone is a quick and easy process. With just a few taps, you can switch from the rear-facing camera to the front-facing camera and capture those perfect selfies and vlogs. So, next time you want to take a self-portrait or record a video of yourself, don’t forget to utilize the camera flip feature on your iPhone!
How to invert your iPhone camera
If you find that your iPhone camera is displaying images or videos inverted, there is a simple solution to fix this issue. Follow the steps below to invert your iPhone camera:
-
Step 1: Open the Settings app
Tap on the Settings app on your iPhone’s home screen. The Settings app icon looks like a grey cogwheel.

Exit the Settings app and open the Camera app on your iPhone. Switch to the front-facing camera and check if the images or videos are no longer inverted. If they are still inverted, repeat the previous steps and ensure that the “Mirror Front Camera” option is enabled.
By enabling the “Mirror Front Camera” option, you are instructing your iPhone to flip the preview of the front-facing camera horizontally, which will display the images or videos correctly.
Remember to check your iPhone’s camera settings if you experience issues with inversion, as it may have been disabled accidentally or during an update.
Step 1: Access your iPhone settings
To invert your camera on your iPhone, you will need to access the settings of your device. Here is how you can do it:
| 1. | Unlock your iPhone by entering your passcode or using Face ID or Touch ID. |

Step 2: Select the “Accessibility” option
Once you have opened the “Settings” app on your iPhone, scroll down until you find the “Accessibility” option. It is usually located in the third section from the top.
Tap on “Accessibility” to enter the accessibility settings menu.
In this menu, you will find various options that can help you customize your iPhone’s display settings to suit your needs.
Scroll down until you find the “Vision” section, which is usually located near the bottom of the accessibility settings menu.
Tap on the “Vision” section to access the visual accessibility options.
Next, look for the “Display & Text Size” option and tap on it. This option allows you to modify the display settings of your iPhone, including the camera settings.
At this point, you should now see various display settings, such as brightness and text size, along with other options related to the camera.
Scroll down until you find the “Camera” option, which is located towards the bottom of the display settings menu.
Tap on the “Camera” option to access the camera settings.
In the camera settings, you will see a toggle or switch for the camera flip option. This option allows you to invert the camera view.
Toggle the switch to the “On” position to enable the camera flip. Once enabled, the camera view on your iPhone will be inverted, allowing you to take photos or record videos using the inverted view.
After you have enabled the camera flip option, you can exit the settings menu and open the camera app on your iPhone to test if the camera view is inverted.
Remember that the steps to access the camera settings may vary slightly depending on the version of iOS installed on your iPhone. However, the general process remains the same.
Step 3: Scroll down and tap on “Display & Text Size”
Once you have opened up the “Settings” app on your iPhone, you will need to scroll down until you find the “Display & Text Size” option. Tap on it to continue.
Alternatively, you can use the search bar at the top of the Settings app to quickly find the “Display & Text Size” option by typing in the keywords.
Tapping on “Display & Text Size” will take you to a new screen where you can customize various display settings and adjust the text size on your iPhone.
Note: Depending on your iPhone model and iOS version, the “Display & Text Size” option may be located in a different section of the Settings app. However, it is usually found within the main settings menu.
Step 4: Choose the “Color Filters” option
Once you have accessed the Accessibility settings on your iPhone, you will see a list of options. Look for the “Display & Text Size” category and tap on it.
Inside the “Display & Text Size” category, you will find another list of options. Search for the “Color Filters” option and tap on it.
When you select the “Color Filters” option, you will see a toggle switch. Make sure the switch is turned on so that the color filters feature is active.
By enabling the color filters, you can invert the colors on your iPhone’s camera. This is especially useful for individuals with visual impairments or those who prefer a different color scheme.
After activating the color filters, you can further customize the settings by tapping on “Color Filters” again. This will allow you to choose from different filter options such as grayscale, red/green filters, or even create a custom filter based on your preference.
Experiment with the different color filters until you find the inversion that suits your needs. Keep in mind that these changes will only affect the camera view and not any other aspect of your iPhone’s display.
Now that you have enabled the color filters and adjusted the settings, you can go back to using your iPhone’s camera. The camera view will appear inverted, making it easier for you to navigate and capture photos or videos.
Step 5: Enable the “Invert Colors” feature
Once you have accessed the Accessibility settings, you can now enable the “Invert Colors” feature on your iPhone. This feature allows you to invert the colors on your device’s screen, which can be helpful for those with visual impairments or for users who prefer a different color scheme.
To enable the “Invert Colors” feature, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Accessibility”.
- Under the “Vision” section, tap on “Display & Text Size”.
- On the next screen, tap on “Color Filters”.
- Toggle the switch next to “Color Filters” to enable it.
Once you have enabled the “Color Filters” option, you will see a list of different types of color filters that you can apply to your device’s screen. Scroll down to find and select “Invert Colors”.
After selecting “Invert Colors”, exit the Settings app. Your iPhone’s screen colors will now be inverted, and you can use your camera with the inverted color scheme.
Note:
If you ever want to disable the “Invert Colors” feature, simply follow the same steps above and toggle off the “Color Filters” option.
Step 6: Exit the settings and open the Camera app
Once you have finished making the necessary changes to your camera settings, it is time to exit the settings menu and open the Camera app to test out the inverted camera.
To exit the settings, simply press the “Home” button on your iPhone. This will take you back to the home screen.
Next, locate and tap on the “Camera” app icon. It usually looks like a camera lens and can be found either on the home screen or in the app library.
If the Camera app is not on your home screen, swipe left to access the app library and search for “Camera” using the search bar at the top of the screen. Once you find it, tap on the icon to open the app.
Once the Camera app is open, you should be able to see the inverted camera view. This means that when you move your iPhone left, the view will move right, and vice versa. You can now start taking photos or recording videos with the inverted camera.
If you want to restore the camera settings to their default configuration, simply repeat the process and toggle the “Mirror Front Camera” or “Mirror Rear Camera” option in the settings menu.
