Realme: Fix Mirrored Selfie Photos

Selfies taken with your Realme phone often show text backwards or flip the room layout compared to reality. This happens because the front camera saves photos in mirror mode by default, matching the viewfinder preview rather than the actual scene. A dedicated camera setting lets you save selfies unmirrored instead.

Fix Mirrored Selfie Photos auf Realme

Realme phones capture front-camera photos in mirror mode by default. That means the saved image matches what you see in the viewfinder, not what other people see when looking at you. Any text on clothing, signs or objects in the background comes out reversed, and room layouts look flipped compared to reality.

This behavior comes from the Flip selfie option in the camera settings. When it is enabled, the camera keeps the mirrored preview as the final saved photo. When it is disabled, the camera flips the image back before saving, so it matches reality instead of the on-screen preview.

To change it, go to Tap on CameraTap on SettingsTap on Advanced settingsEnable or disable Flip selfie. Turn the toggle off if you want selfies saved as other people see you, or turn it on if you prefer the mirrored look you see while framing the shot.

This setting only affects the front camera. It applies to photos and, depending on the app, some video recordings as well. If a third-party camera or messaging app still saves selfies mirrored, check that app's own camera settings, since some apps override the system camera behavior.

Frequently asked questions

Many camera and messaging apps have their own mirror setting that ignores the system camera. Check that app's settings menu separately from the Flip selfie option under Tap on CameraTap on SettingsTap on Advanced settings.
