Time after time, we have someone in the news (often connected to a tragic event) and a photo is shown.
The photo is of the person taking a selfie.
Is there some kind of setting for this? I find it odd that so many have photos of another person taking a selfie...but then, I'm old and not in the mindset of taking selfies all the time.
I have never taken a photo of someone else taking a selfie.

Sometimes people take selfies of themselves in a mirror ( most commonly the bathroom mirror).
Is this what you mean?

It's a setting on your phone on your camera. I think just about everyone I know takes them nowadays that way, particularly the kids.

Are you sure it is a photo of someone taking the selfie, and not the selfie itself? Like, do you see the phone the person is holding? I know my DH and share photos from the cloud all the time so I have several of "his" selfies.

I am pretty sure these sort of selfies are taken in front of a mirror.

Thanks. Using a mirror never entered my mind.

Some use a mirror. Most newer cell phones allow you to turn the camera towards you and see the pic of yourself as you take it.

Ha ha, this is timely! I rarely take selfies, but I JUST took a selfie in the full length mirror in our bathroom at work because I wanted to text someone a picture of the new outfit that I was wearing!

Ha ha, this is timely! I rarely take selfies, but I JUST took a selfie in the full length mirror in our bathroom at work because I wanted to text someone a picture of the new outfit that I was wearing! I had to take a selfie of myself in a dressing room to ask my dd if my outfit was correct for a dog show. Now I can no longer say I've never taken a selfie  Just barely missed that for the I have never . . . thread |

I did notice that one, it I haven't noticed others in the news. Think it's the kind of thing friends take when they catch a friend being vain , taking a selfie... And no, it is not a setting. Or, as others said, in a mirror |
