Why do I look horrible on selfies?

When I take selfies with a friend or just by myself I look really bad but in reality I'm not that ugly. Its like the iPhone makes my face look worse and shows all my defects lol why? And when I take it with a professional camera I look good.

You seem to have answered your own question.

I have the same problem and it's so annoying!

Maybe it's the Iphone?

You're probably just not photogenic, like me lol.

  • Why isn't my Iphone (5) taking regular pictures and only able to take Selfies? When I take a picture of the object in front, the screen goes blank and the picture doesn't get taken. It then slides to the start page. When I start the camera it goes on flip mode automatically and only takes selfies. any idea what's the problem here?
  • Why is Apples service so horrible? For the past few days or even weeks, I've noticed my iPhone 5 has delayed texts and can't even send certain videos. I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem bc some of my friends have told me the same thing. What's up with Apple?
  • Why does the Iphone 5 Camera take such odd selfies? The photos come out looking a bit scary. Even some pics I have had taken from a distance. Like. That doesn't look like me at ALL?! And yet the mirror pics look alright even nice in my view. what is the deal. My mom said the same thing about selfies with her Iphone 5. I don't have an Iphone (or smartphone) but considering getting a newer model.
  • Why do I look so horrible on my iPhone camera? I can be taking the picture in the mirror and I still look extremely different than my mirror reflection on his camera. The coloring is off too. What's the deal?
