That isn't available on many phones. It's not something you can just add on after the fact.

If that feature is important to you, you would have to purchase a phone that had it built in.

I'm afraid there is no magic button we can point you to to reveal that as a "hidden" feature on your current phone.

Why?

Well let me rattle off some potential thoughts on it...

- Cost
Adding the hardware, even an LED on the front can add to the price of developing and making the device.
Again, adding a focus to the front camera costs money, in addition to the focus-equipped rear shooting.
Might not be by much, but it can add up and is taken into consideration.

- Practicality/value
Will it bring enough value for the buyer to care? Doesn't seem like it thus far. Like the iPhone simply flashes its display.

Again, considering most selfies are at a close range, a fixed focus camera can be "good enough" since it doesn't need to be as versatile as the rear camera.
Adding a focus also uses up more space, which can be at a premium in a phone. (see camera humps on many devices)
