Change FaceTime video settings on iPhone

During a call in the FaceTime app, you can turn Portrait mode on or off, switch between cameras, or turn your camera on or off.

Blur the background with Portrait mode

During a FaceTime call, Portrait mode automatically blurs the background and puts the visual focus on you, the same way Portrait mode does in the Camera app.

  1. When you’re on a FaceTime call, tap your tile.

  2. Tap the Blur Background button in your tile.

    To turn Portrait mode off, tap the button again.

You can also turn on Portrait mode in Control Center. Open Control Center, then tap FaceTime Controls.

Switch to the rear camera

When you’re on a FaceTime call, tap your tile, then tap the Flip to Back Camera button.

To switch back to the front camera, tap the Flip to Back Camera button again.

Note: While you’re using the rear camera, you can enlarge the image by tapping 1x. Tapping it again returns the image to normal size.

Turn off your camera

When you’re on a FaceTime call, tap the screen to make the controls appear, then tap the Camera On button. (Tap it again to turn the camera back on.)
