How to Switch Directions in Panorama Mode on Your iPhone

Panorama Mode in the iPhone Camera app is an awesome way to capture the full shot.

Panorama mode is particularly perfect for taking photos of landscapes or city horizons. However, you may want to switch what direction Panorama mode captures in. Turns out, it’s easy to do. Here’s how to switch directions in Panorama Mode.

  • Now, you’ll see an arrow in the middle of the screen with the words, “Move iPhone continuously when taking a Panorama.”

  • If you need the shot to go the opposite direction, simply tap the arrow and it will switch.
