How To Record A Slofie Using An iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max

One of the new features that Apple markets as exclusively for the 2019 iPhone flagships is the possibility of recording a slow-motion selfie with the help of the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max front facing camera. The Cupertino-based tech giant markets this new feature under the term of “Slofie”. More exactly, that’s how they name the end product, the slo-mo selfie that’s saved in the Photos app after the user records a short slo-mo video of himself with the front facing camera.

Slofies are currently only available for the iPhone 11 lineup owners and this is most likely a marketing scheme used by Apple to promote the sales of the new devices. I would expect selfies to be unlocked on the XS and the X terminals after a couple of months. But until then, let’s check out how you can snap a slofie with an iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max.

What’s a Slofie?

To sum up all that’s been said above, a slofie is a video version of a selfie shot at 120 frames per second which allows for the video to be slow motioned at a high quality!

Why Slofies Only On iPhone 11?

Apple’s official explanation for the exclusivity of the Slofie feature is based on the new 12-megapixel TrueDepth camera hardware that is mounted on the iPhone 11 lineup!

How To Slofie With iPhone 11

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Flip for the front-facing camera, by pressing the Camera perspective switcher in the bottom-right corner of the app.
3. Swipe-right on the Camera mode list until you reach Slo-Mo.
4. Press the shutter button and record your Slofie.
5. Press the shutter again to finish.
Fact: The Slofie is saved in the Photos app.

Fact: If you try to follow the same steps on the iPhone XS or older iPhone model that’s running iOS 13, the Camera perspective is automatically switched back to the rear-facing camera when you select the Slo-Mo mode at step 3!
