OnePlus: Enable or Disable Mirrored Selfies

If your OnePlus selfies look flipped compared to what you see in the mirror, the front camera is mirroring the preview but not the saved photo, or the other way around. Text and objects in the background can end up reversed, which looks odd in group shots or when a sign is visible behind you. This comes down to a single camera setting that controls how the final image gets saved.

Enable or Disable Mirrored Selfie Photo auf OnePlus

Front cameras show a mirrored preview by default, since that matches what you see when you look in a mirror. The problem starts when the saved photo does not match that preview.

With Mirrored selfie photo enabled, the final image keeps the same orientation as the live preview. Text in the background, logos, or your part in the frame stay the way you saw them while framing the shot. With it disabled, the camera saves the photo the way other people actually see you, which flips any text or asymmetrical detail behind you.

You control this behavior directly in the camera settings on your OnePlus phone:

Open the Camera appOpen the SettingsEnable or disable Mirrored selfie photo

Toggle the option on if you prefer selfies that look exactly like your reflection, including any text or numbers behind you. Toggle it off if you want the photo to match how the scene actually looks from the outside, which matters most when a background sign, book cover, or wall clock needs to read correctly.

This setting only affects the front camera and has no effect on rear camera shots. It also does not change video calls or other apps that use the front camera, since those manage their own preview independently.

Frequently asked questions

The live preview on the front camera is always mirrored by design. Whether the saved photo matches that preview depends on the Mirrored selfie photo setting in the camera app, found under Open the Camera appOpen the Settings.
