I haven't really been on TheTechGame lately but I'm back, so hello hope everyones been doing well!
I've never used the normal camera app to take selfies, only use snapchat. When I take pics on snapchat, I look decent, same as what I see in the mirror. When I took a selfie on camera app I almost cried lmao. I was like theres no way I'm that ugly, literally I've never seen anyone uglier. At one point I was like I'm never going out again. Can someone look in the mirror, then take a selfie with normal camera and tell me if they look the same? I have iPhone 6s btw
EDIT: Everyone has been talking about the quality, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. The visual quality doesn't do anything. What I'm talking about is the normal camera application flips your photos and makes you look weird.

Probably because the iPhond cameras are so detailed now they show every flaw on your face. Makes me feel ugly all the time. Snapchat picture quality is a lot lower

I've noticed unless you have a phone recently out within the last 2 years snapchat won't take a good quality photo, really annoying

I have an iPhone 7... or 7s if that exists I really don't know about Apple anymore... and the snapchat quality is still a lot lower than my camera. Just the way snapchat is I'm pretty sure.

It's mirroring as Mitochondria said.
When you look in the mirror, you see a horizontally flipped version of yourself. This is not what other people see when they look at you.
This is what you think you look like and it's what you're comfortable with. So when you take selfies on Snapchat, the image isn't flipped and instead is how you see yourself in the mirror. This is done because you're more likely to think the selfie looks better.
The Iphone camera app flips the selfie when it's taken so the image looks identical to how it does in real life. Snapchat doesn't do this and their selfies look the same as you would in the mirror.
If you want to see how you really look, put your camera to the rear camera, turn your phone around and take a snap of yourself with your rear camera. That's pretty much how you look IRL.
Trust me, everyone prefers how they look in the mirror. You've seen that image everyday and think that's how you actually look, it's natural to think your flipped image is awful.
For anyone that doesn't know, Android phones don't actually take photos in snapchat, they screenshot the photo and use the screenshot.
Iphones actually take the photos.
This is why IPhones have much better snap quality, despite having lower Megapixel cameras.
