Viral photo of bride declared ‘glitch in the Matrix’ as viewers spot mind-bending mistakes – iPhone may hold the answer
A PHOTO has recently gone viral for making viewers second-guess their eyes.
A photo of a bride that was taken with an iPhone has taken the internet by storm recently.

She appears to be in one pose in front of the mirror, but then in her reflection, she depicts a different pose.
This prompted some viewers to claim that the image was a glitch in the Matrix.

He also noted that the photo doesn't say panorama mode in the metadata.
