Use your iPhone's wide front camera for better group selfies

For years, we've taken group selfies the same way: Someone holds their arm out as far as it can go, and turns their phone sideways to get everyone in the frame. It's muscle memory at this point. You probably still do this, even if you have an iPhone 17. But you don't have to. If you have one of Apple's latest iPhones, you can take wide selfies while holding your iPhone vertically.

Personally, it's one of my favorite features of the 17 series. To use it, launch the Camera and activate the selfie cam, then tap the icon of a person in a frame that appears above the shutter. You'll see the frame widen, as if you already turned your iPhone, but without moving it at all. Unless your group is huge, there's a good chance you won't have to adjust at all to fit everyone in the shot. This works with videos, too, turning your iPhone into an excellent vlogging camera for 16:9 videos.
