With the release of iOS 14, Apple introduced a new feature in the Camera app that automatically flips the image when you take a selfie. While this may seem like a small change, it can be quite disorienting for some users who are used to seeing themselves in a certain way. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to turn off camera flip on your iPhone running iOS 14.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone. It’s the app with the gray gears icon.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap on “Camera”.
Step 3: In the Camera settings, you will find an option called “Mirror Front Camera”. Tap on the toggle switch next to it to turn off the camera flip.
Step 4: Exit the Settings app and open the Camera app on your iPhone. You will now notice that the camera no longer flips the image when you take a selfie.
Note: Keep in mind that turning off camera flip will affect all the apps that use the front camera on your iPhone, not just the Camera app.
By following these simple steps, you can easily turn off camera flip on your iPhone running iOS 14 and restore the previous behavior of the front camera. Now you can take selfies without being confused by a flipped image!

Go to Settings
To turn off camera flip on your iPhone running iOS 14, you need to go to the Settings app.

In the Camera settings, you’ll find the option to disable camera flip. Look for the “Mirror Front Camera” or “Flip Front Camera” toggle switch and make sure it is turned off. This will ensure that the front camera behaves similar to a mirror.
Note: Disabling camera flip will make the front camera capture your image as it appears to others, rather than mirroring it.
After following these steps, your camera app should no longer flip the image when using the front camera on your iPhone running iOS 14.
Select Camera
The camera flip feature on the iPhone allows you to switch between the front-facing and rear-facing cameras for taking photos and recording videos. However, if you prefer to disable this feature and lock the camera to a specific orientation, you can follow the steps below.

Step 4: Exit Settings
Once you have disabled the camera flip by toggling off the “Mirror Front Camera” option, you can exit the Settings app.
Now, when you use the front-facing camera on your iPhone, the image will no longer be flipped, providing a more accurate representation of the scene. Keep in mind that this setting only applies to the front camera and will not affect the rear camera.

Disable the “Mirror Front Camera” Option
In iOS 14, the front camera on your iPhone has a new “Mirror Front Camera” option which flips the image horizontally. If you prefer to have the image appear as it does in real life, you can disable this option.
Here is how you can disable the “Mirror Front Camera” option on your iPhone running iOS 14:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Camera”.
- Under the “Composition” section, you will find the “Mirror Front Camera” option. Tap on it to turn it off.
Once you have disabled the “Mirror Front Camera” option, the front camera on your iPhone will no longer flip the image horizontally. This means that any photos or videos you take with the front camera will appear as they do in real life.
This can be particularly useful in scenarios such as video calls, where you may want to present information or show something using your front camera, without it being mirrored or reversed.
It’s worth noting that disabling the “Mirror Front Camera” option only affects the front camera on your iPhone. The rear camera does not have this option and will always capture the image as it appears in real life.
Exit the Settings
Once you have completed the necessary changes to your camera flip settings, you can simply exit the Settings application. To do this, follow these steps:
|
1. Press the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the app switcher. 2. Locate the Settings app among the list of recently used apps. |
3. Swipe up on the Settings app card or press and hold on the app card and swipe it up and off the screen. |
By exiting the Settings app, you ensure that any changes you made to the camera flip settings are saved and applied. You can now go back to using your iPhone with the camera flip feature turned off.
Test the Camera
After turning off the camera flip on your iPhone with iOS 14, it is important to test the camera to ensure the desired result is achieved. Follow the steps below to test the camera:
1. Open the Camera App: Locate and open the Camera app on your iPhone. You can find it on the home screen or in the app library.
2. Choose the Camera: Swipe right or left to select the camera you want to test. By default, the rear camera is selected. Tap on the “flip” icon to switch to the front camera if needed.
3. Check the Image Orientation: Take a picture or record a video and review the result. If the image or video appears mirrored or flipped, it means the camera flip is still enabled. In this case, you may need to repeat the previous steps to ensure the camera flip is properly disabled.
4. Adjust Camera Settings: If the image or video orientation is incorrect, you can adjust the camera settings. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and navigate to “Camera”. Look for options like “Mirror Front Camera” or “Flip Front Camera” and make sure they are disabled.
5. Repeat the Test: After adjusting the camera settings, go back to the Camera app and take another picture or record a video. Review the result again to see if the image or video orientation is now correct.
Note: Some third-party camera apps may have their own settings related to camera orientation. If you are using a different camera app, make sure to check its settings and disable any options that may cause unwanted camera flips.
By following these steps, you can effectively test the camera on your iPhone after turning off the camera flip on iOS 14. This will help ensure your images and videos are correctly oriented without any unwanted flips or mirroring.
