iPhone 'Lock Screen Mirror' feature lets you quickly check your hair/teeth without opening the camera - Yanko Design
"How many times have you stepped out for a meeting with friends or for an interview, having no idea what you look like... or whether you've got food stuck in your teeth? You unlock your phone, open the camera app, and flip to the front-facing camera to do a quick vibe-check. It's a 3-step process that absolutely doesn't need to be a 3-step process."
"Instead, Zegzulka's solution involves just long-pressing on the camera icon on the bottom right of your lock screen. That brings up a tiny window emerging off the dynamic island, giving you a quick preview of yourself. You can check your hair, fix your make-up, adjust your specs, run your tongue across your teeth, or just quickly check out that annoying zit that appeared at the wrong place and wrong time."
"The Lock Screen Mirror isn't an app. It's just a quick interaction that lets you open the camera's viewfinder right on your lock screen for checking your appearance. The tiny circular window is almost exactly the size of a make-up mirror, and the feature is legitimately handy, even for me as a guy who has fairly curly hair that needs to just be ruffled before I step out."
A lock-screen mirror provides a tiny front-facing camera viewfinder accessible directly from the lock screen via a long-press on the camera icon. A small circular window emerges near the Dynamic Island to give an immediate preview for hair, makeup, glasses, teeth, or blemishes. The interaction removes the need to unlock the phone and open the camera app, reducing a three-step vibe-check to a single action. The feature functions as an interface interaction rather than a separate app. A short demo gathered nearly 2,000 likes, and the feature is described as potentially more important than FaceID and highly practical.
