Seeking tips for taking and editing selfies

Hi

The current craze for people of my generation at the moment is taking selfies. I've been using SelfieX, which is an app that allows you to use the back camera to take a selfie, with spoken instructions from the phone. I was wondering if anyone had any other ways of taking selfies, or any tips to do with editing them, or taking them in the first place. Just curious to see what I can experiment with...

Hey, this is one area of technology perhaps we can just leave to our sighted friends. Haha. It is one of the silliest and most narcissistic trends ever! Ok ok... I'm not here to judge. :) I have found that the Apple camera app does a good job of helping me line up a shot. It says things like, "small head, centered, near top edge." If the built-in app nor the other app you mentioned aren't working for you, what specific issues are you still having?

I also love taking selfies, but sometimes my friends told me that they are not good, so, how can i improve this?

I want to have an iPhone with making pictures for video editing? $99 billion iPhone 14 Pro Max and 2097, then will fast forward to 2187 and see how good camera quality is my blind people… But in reality, selfies aren’t really for blind people, unless you’re doing OCR.
I’m sorry, but that is honest truth

Why not for blind people?

At the risk of starting something, I'm just going to put it out here. On the pixel phones, there is a guided selfie feature. It directs you, and then when the angle is right it gives a 3-2-1 countdown and snaps the selfie on its own. Think selfieX but with the front facing camera and a whole lot more detailed directions such as, "person at top cropped," or "face centered," which to be fair apple gives but does not say if you're cropped or not. I say all of that to put this out here. It seems that often features are shared between phones eventually. So perhaps in a future iOS version, guided selfies will come to fruition on iPhone. I know, people are going to say, "let's fix, (insert feature you think is most important here), but the reality is, all generations are using these devices now, and everyone wants to be included in society. So, if people who are blind want to enjoy taking selfies, they should have the option like their sighted friends. Here's to hoping it happens sooner rather than later on not just the pixel but on all phones.

I used the Selfiex before, and some people told me that the photo is great, but do not know that it is related to all these things.
thanks in advance
