ELI5-Why is the front facing camera always a “mirror”?

182 views

In this day and age of “everyone is an influencer” why os the front facing camera always showing a mirror image? Shouldn’t that be an option to set rather than a default setting? Maybe it’s my OCD bothering me when I watch tik tok…..

Its because you are used to seeing yourself in the mirror.

People often think they look weird in pictures because they are mirrored compared to how they usually see themselves. Mirroring the images makes it more like the face you know, removing the weirdness and making you more likely to post it.
