How to Turn On or Off the Camera Mirror Effect on Nothing Phone (3)

A general photograph of the Nothing Phone (3) showing its design.

Have you ever taken a selfie on your Nothing Phone (3) only to find the resulting image looks "flipped" compared to what you saw in the preview? This is likely due to the camera mirror effect, which simulates a mirror reflection (the reverse of what others see) but often saves the photo as you saw it. Many prefer the image to be saved as others see them. Fortunately, changing this setting is quick and easy within the Camera app. Follow this simple guide to enable or disable the mirrored front camera option for more natural-looking selfies.
