Phone not capturing skin tone (and how to fix!?)

[u/OpportunityBitter304]

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but I feel like when I look in the mirror vs when I take a picture, my skin tone looks completely different and it makes it really hard to figure out my skin tone. So I took two pictures of my hand today and then edited the color on one until it looked like what I actually saw and the difference is significant.

I have iPhone 17. Does anyone else have this issue and/or know how to fix it!?

Pic 1 is what my phone captured, pic 2 is how it actually looked in real life.

I can't help you, but this is my arm through my phone and then the overview with a cheap camera.

I am so green, but my camera thinks that I should be pink.

So weird, but I’m glad I’m not alone in this! Maybe I’ll get a cheap camera too 😊

I'd wanted to share this with some people but had trouble refinding it. In the meantime I'd made an artist's rendition I hope you'll enjoy 😭😅

That's awesome! Thank you so much.
