If you’re an iPhone user, you’re probably familiar with the many features that FaceTime has to offer. However, have you heard of portrait mode on FaceTime? If not, you’re missing out! In this easy guide, we’ll walk you through how to turn on portrait mode on FaceTime.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that portrait mode on FaceTime only works on later or newer versions of the iPhone. If you have an older model such as iPhone 8, 7 or 6, unfortunately, portrait mode won’t work on FaceTime due to its processing capability.
Assuming you have a later version of the iPhone, and you have your iOS updated, let’s head into FaceTime. Once you’re on FaceTime, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen, and at the very top, you’ll see “video effects” and “mic mode.” Tap on “video effects.”
This will give you the option to toggle on portrait mode. Once you toggle it on, you can continue your FaceTime conversation while being on portrait mode. You’ll notice that the background will be blurred while you speak. If you decide you no longer want to use portrait mode, you can always go back and toggle it off.
Portrait mode on FaceTime is a quick and cool way to converse while having a blurred background behind you. It’s perfect for those situations where you want to maintain privacy or want to have a more professional look.
