Selfies are such a large part of how we capture and share moments, and for Samsung Galaxy users, the front camera comes loaded with some awesome features. Among them is the Selfie Mirror Effect, which determines if your selfies are going to appear exactly like you see them in preview (mirrored) or how others perceive you (non-mirrored).
Most Samsung phones save selfies in a flipped orientation by default to align with the way they appear on the screen of the camera when you take the picture. While many people adore the mirror effect, others may find it disorienting or unreal—especially when looking at text or facial architecture.
In this guide, we will guide you through step by step how to enable or disable the selfie mirror effect on the Samsung Galaxy A26, A36, and A56. Let’s do it and customize your selfie to your preference!
