How to take wider selfies on iPhone

Short answerWiden the front camera (two-arrow button on iPhone 11 and later), hold the phone higher and further away, turn sideways for groups, or use the rear 0.5x with a timer.

A wider selfie lets you fit more people or scenery into the frame.

Ways to get a wider shot

  • Hold the phone slightly further away and a bit higher.
  • Rotate to landscape for group shots.
  • Look for a wider front-camera mode in your camera settings. Availability depends on your iPhone model.
  • Use the rear camera with a mirror or a timer for the widest views.

Check your phone's own camera settings first, since newer models offer more options.
