Apple’s FaceTime app is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. But if you want to take advantage of all the features that portrait mode offers, you’ll need to know how to use it. Here are some tips:

  1. Choose the right camera angle for your situation. When using portrait mode, it’s important to choose the right camera angle for your situation. For example, if you’re talking on the phone with a friend, you might want to hold the phone at an angle that allows your friend’s face to be in focus. If you’re talking on a call with someone else, they might prefer a more natural-looking pose, like one in which the person is looking straight ahead or down.
  2. Use white balance wisely. If you want your portrait mode photos to look their best, make sure they’re taken in a light that won’t cause them to look too dark or too light. For example, try using a light blue or green in your photos so they’ll have an even tone across all of them.

Portrait Mode is a great feature for the iPhone’s camera. It can make your selfies look a lot more polished and professional. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could use Portrait Mode on FaceTime? Well, you can.

iOS 15 introduced Portrait Mode for FaceTime video calls. It works similarly to the camera mode, blurring the background to highlight your face. The effect works really well in video calls. You’ll probably want to use it all the time.

First, you’ll need to be in a FaceTime video call on your iPhone. Tap your video preview in the bottom corner to expand it.

With your video preview expanded, tap the portrait icon in the top-left corner.

Portrait Mode is now enabled, the background will be blurred slightly. You can tap the double-arrow icon to minimize your video preview and return to the call.

It’s really as simple as that. This is a small thing, but it actually makes quite a big difference in how you look on FaceTime. Once you do this once, you’ll wish you could use it on every platform. Maybe you’ll want to make more video calls now!
