Why my face gets weird with iphone camera?

So when I take a selfshot (armlenght) with my iphone my face gets very weird it gets longer but when I take a picture withiphone in fron ot mirror or when the pic gets taken from a distance my face is fine, I know that the Iphone camera disorts your face when on armlenght but then why other people don't have it like on facebook is see pics of people with self-shot pics and they are fine there.

(only have this problem when on armlenght from distance its oke and when I take selshot in mirror also fine)

It's probably just proportional, a mirror can be centered and directly infront of you while if you slant you arm your face will look longer.

Any photo taken using a cell phone is going to distort you face. Why? Because they have wide angle lenses. For a proportional shot of your face, you need to use a medium telephoto lens, not possible with a cell phone

  • Why does my face look longer in my iphone camera than in the mirror? I know that the mirror is a flip of what I "really" look like, but why does my iphone camera make my face look long? Whenever I ask people what face shape I have, they usually say round. Buy when I look at myself on my iphone I see an ugly oval. Help! Here are some pictures of me: iice.tumblr.com/tagged/me
