FaceTime effect

Add camera effects in FaceTime calls on iPhone

• On video calls using the FaceTime app , you can become your favorite Animoji or Memoji character (iPhone X and later). On supported models, you can use a built-in filter to change your appearance and add stickers, labels, and shapes (iOS 12.1 or later). You can take screenshots in FaceTime that include the special camera effects you add to a call.

Become an Animoji or Memoji

In Messages on iPhone X and later, you can create an Animoji or Memoji character to use in your FaceTime calls. iPhone captures your movements, facial expressions, and voice, and conveys them through your character. (Your character imitates you even when you stick out your tongue!)

For information about creating Animoji and Memoji, see Use Animoji and Memoji in Messages on iPhone.

1. During a FaceTime call, tap . (If you don’t see , tap the screen.)
2. Tap , then choose an Animoji or Memoji (swipe through the characters at the bottom, then tap one).
3. The other caller will hear what you say, but see your Animoji or Memoji doing the talking.

Use a filter to change your appearance

1. On supported models, during a FaceTime video call, tap the screen, then tap . (If you don’t see , tap the screen.)
2. Tap to open the filters.
