Flip Camera Function FaceTime

When will the ability to flip the camera from facing to back be put back? Its impossible to use now and was so useful before especially if I wanted to show someone something I was looking at. To have to click 4 times to get the camera to switch is just useless. What a ridiculous idea to get rid of it!

Flipping Facetime camera on IOS 12.0.1 Flipping the camera on Facetime with new IOS 12.0.1 is not an improvement by any means. Three clicks to flip the camera now instead of the old way of one. What were they thinking? I don't know who came up with this but it was a bad idea. I hope Apple fixes this mistake. Maybe if enough people complain they will.

FaceTime Camera flip button hidden in iOS12 I feel that the redesign of the FaceTime app is very unfortunate. The camera flip button is now hidden away in a submenu. This makes flipping the camera during a FaceTime call very awkward. I’d wish that this be changed in a future update. Either bring back the flip button from the submenu to remain available even in full screen or make the camera effects button exchangeable with any submenu button.

Hey there Tjn_72

iOS 12.1.1 rectified this issue and returned the Flip Camera button to the menu bar in FaceTime. Update your device to the latest iOS and you should see this change take effect.
