Best Free Mirror Application for Android and iOS Devices

Whether you want to apply makeup, shave your beard, or just want to see how you are looking today, you need a mirror. Women usually carry a small mirror and makeup kit in her purse, but the size of a Man’s wallet doesn’t allow him to carry even a small-sized mirror. Well, you don’t need to carry a mirror if you own a Smartphone. These days smartphones’ display are large enough to use as a portable mirror. If you are at home, you can use your iPad or any other tablet to shave. Tablets’ usually carry 7-inch or larger display that should be perfect for shaving as well as makeup.

How to Use Your Smartphone or Tablet as a Mirror

Requirement : A Smartphone or Tablet with a front-facing camera.

If your smartphone or tablet features a front camera, you can use it as a mirror. Just launch the camera application on your device, and start using the front camera. Now you can see yourself on your smartphone just like you do in case of a Mirror.

Issue : There is one little issue if you are using front camera as Mirror. It gets dim and turns off the display light according to Smartphone’s or Tablet’s settings (not applicable for all smartphones). So you will have to keep tapping on the screen every few seconds or increase the auto-off time for display light. So every time you use your smartphone as a mirror, you will have to go to Smartphone’s settings that could be frustrating for many users. In such case, you can use a mirror application.
