Like I will open the front camera at school and look decent and then once I actually take the picture I look worse. Is this because my phone is shit? I have an iPhone SE 3rd gen with a shitty single camera so maybe that’s why. Am I just autistic and ugly?

Nah it’s not. When I take the pic it just looks worse in general.

Because your phone’s photo algorithm is shit.
 
if ur using the camera app thats probably why, that happens to me too

just use the snapchat camera. its the same thing except when it takes the picture it doesnt edit ur face

Sometimes it applies a filter to make it look more high quality after the pic is taken, but probably just because before it was fluent and then its just the pic
