Ready to flip the script on your selfies? Snapchat has rolled out a new feature that can invert text and images in your photos, but it's not as easy to find as you might think. Here's a closer look at how to get flipped perfection in your snaps.

Snapchat has offered a selection of lenses and filters that respond to movements, actions, and environmental factors for some time now. These include things like lenses that respond to your facial gestures, like the classic puking rainbow, filters that offer different designs based on where you are, like a sand-timed post-card background if you're at the beach, or weather-themed filters that change based on the actual weather where you are. Now, they have added a feature that flips text and images in your photos to create unique angles and perspectives in images.

Rather than keeping this feature front and center, however, it appears that Snapchat has buried this feature within an option that already existed for creating multiple grids of images within snaps. Here's how to find and use the new flip feature.

It's not intuitive, but if you open the Snapchat camera, click the "Create" button in the top right, then scroll right through the first two grids to get to the "Layout" option, you'll see an option at the top of the page that says "Mirror." This is what you've been looking for. Clicking that will allow you to take a selfie and see the mirror image of that selfie posted live on the screen.

It's not just mirrored, it's a true flip so that if you type, "Hello, world!" into the snap, it will appear in the selfie as, "!dlroW ,olleH". Try it with a selfie and see all of your features flipped beautifully. It's perfect for those who often think they look better in photos when they flip them, probably because it's common to take photos from slightly above ourselves, which elongates our features in what is often an more aesthetically pleasing way. Give it a try and see how you like the new flip feature!
