MirrorFlip setup guide

How to mirror a webpage or flip a video in Safari on iPhone.

MirrorFlip changes the way a page looks inside Safari. Use Flip Page to mirror the whole webpage, or Flip Video to mirror the player while keeping the surrounding text and controls readable.

1. Enable the extension

After installing MirrorFlip, open your iPhone Settings and choose Apps → Safari → Extensions → MirrorFlip. Turn on Allow Extension. If you use Safari profiles, enable it for the profile you browse with.

Menu labels can vary with your iOS version. Apple explains the current controls in its Safari extensions guide.

2. Open a page in Safari

Visit the webpage or video you want to mirror in Safari. Open the Page Menu beside the address field (shown as AA on older versions), then choose MirrorFlip. If it is missing, check Manage Extensions and your Safari extension settings.

3. Choose what to flip

Mirroring reverses left and right. It does not rotate the video, cast it to another screen, or save an edited copy of the video file.

4. Choose website access

Safari may ask you to allow the extension on the current website. Choose the access you are comfortable with. You can review extension access in Safari settings later. See the MirrorFlip Privacy Policy for the extension’s data practices.

If a video does not flip

Website players behave differently. Embedded players, protected content and native fullscreen playback can limit what an extension can change. Try the video within the webpage rather than in fullscreen. If a site reloads its content, you may need to apply the flip again.

Try the demonstration

Visit the video demonstration page in Safari with MirrorFlip enabled, then try Flip Video and Flip Page to compare the two views.
