1. While a FaceTime call is in progress, you have access to the entire screen and can tap anywhere on it.

2. At the very bottom of the screen, there will be a menu bar that may be pushed up and down. Tap the symbol to the right of the image to rotate it.

3. I am finally able to show my friend this magnificent lamp because the view has moved from the camera that was facing the screen to the one that was facing the rear.

To go back to utilizing the camera that is facing front, you need only tap the flip icon a second time. That is the simplest way to put it!

FAQs

Does FaceTime have mirror mode?

To put it another way, the mirror is the primary tool that we use to observe ourselves in our daily lives. On the other hand, this is only a reflection of our look, or more specifically a mirror image of what we see in the mirror. When using an iPhone, if you take a selfie or use the front-facing camera for a Zoom or FaceTime chat, our image may be turned horizontally, creating the impression that it is being viewed from the outside in. This can happen when you take a picture of yourself using the front-facing camera.

Do people see me inverted?

You do not see the same person in the mirror that other people do when you look at yourself. This is due to the fact that your brain inverts your reflection when you look in the mirror. When you lift your left hand, the hand that appears in your reflection will be raised in the opposite direction. Our faces are not symmetrical; this can be seen in everything from the way we smile to the way we split our hair.
