For the majority of smartphone users without a front camera flash, it could be difficult capturing an excellent selfie with your phone. Although smartphone manufacturers have recently started shipping phones with front flash, this tutorial is for the user without one when taking shots in low light conditions or at night. This tutorial can prove to be really useful for selfie lovers who do not like taking selfies with their rear cameras. To take good selfies at night on the phone without a front flash, we’ll be using one of the several free apps available on the Google Playstore or Apple’s AppStore. Some of these apps include – BestMe Selfie Camera App, Front Flash, Night Selfie Camera and so on which are for Android users. While for iOS users, they can download Self-shot – Front Flash Camera, Nightly, Take Selfies FREE and so on.
