When using your mobile device to take a selfie, please be sure to follow these tips:
- Try holding the phone at arm’s length, or ask someone to take the picture for you
- Hold your phone steady to avoid blur
- Ensure you are in a well-lit area that’s close to a window or light source
- If you are outside, face the sun — but try not to squint
- Be mindful of backlighting
- Avoid shadows running across your face
- Make sure your lens is clean
- Make sure there are no filters applied on your camera app
- Ensure there is a clutter-free background or wall behind you
