Top 5 selfie apps for iOS

1. Halides

The only premium app on this list, and unsurprisingly, Halide is probably the best camera app. With high-end tools , a beautifully detailed UI designed from the ground up for iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Halide is your go-to camera when you want to take real photos, not just quick snapshots.

2.Perfect 365

Perfect365 is the perfect app if you prefer beauty mode over lenses and filters. The app allows you to try out new looks on the fly. However, given that the app does not have built-in filters and instead includes virtual makeup and styling tools, this app will likely be more appealing to a female audience. Comes with over 20 makeup and beauty tools to customize your look, including shadows, liners, lipsticks, and more. Oh, and with over 200 preset styles , styling is just a touch away. If you want to go from just selfies with filters to selfies with proper facial touch-ups along with makeup, Perfect365 is the “perfect” app.
