Stop iPhone Camera from Inverting or Flipping Photos
Follow the steps below to make your iPhone or iPad save selfies as they appear in the camera preview. Your iPhone or iPad should no longer flip or vertically invert pictures captured using the front camera. The option to save mirrored selfies is available only on iOS 14 or iPadOS 14.. Update your device’s software to the latest version if you don’t find the “Mirror Front Camera” option on the camera settings menu. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap Download and Install to update your iPhone or iPad’s operating system.
