Is there a technology to.... say.... zoom-out more? For example, when you take a selfie, sometimes things are too close.. I wish I could 'somehow' zoom-out, but I wouldn't have a starting clue how that would be achieved.

Wow.

It's so infuriating when there's nothing I can download though. :(

You can buy wide angle lenses that clip onto the phone :)

I bought one on Amazon for $30 (brand is AUKEY) and used it with my iPhone on a recent hiking trip. You have to be careful of aligning it perfectly, but it's a huge help when photographing landscapes with a phone. You can capture a noticeable amount more of the scene.
