The camera DOES lie! People who claimed to be sharing 'candid' snaps that were anything but are called out for lying online
From a panoramic shot that someone claimed to have taken while dropping their phone to a botched blonde hair dye that somehow came out as a rainbow, sometimes social media posts can't be taken at face value.
People from around the world have shared cringe-inducing times others were caught in a lie online - with the very best collated in a gallery by Traveler Door.
One set of images shows a woman in a a series of perfectl, smiling poses, which she claims were accidentally snapped by her laptop camera.
Elsewhere, a mother claimed her husband had randomly snapped some photos of her with her baby that looked like they'd been professionally shot against the dramatic backdrop of a perfect sunset.
