Where are the Facetime controls for iphone?

It used to be that you could access controls for FaceTime during a call. (mute voice / mute video / front or back camera.... ) With my new phone these controls are simply missing.

Someone called me today when I wasn't wearing a shirt. It was extremely embarrassing.

I simply cannot find the controls. If I swipe up all I get are the standard iPhone controls.

Is this yet another brilliant up/downgrade from Apple? I can tell you, the next call I get I am going to answer it with the thing pointing at the ceiling.

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Where is the button for muting the video or for accepting a video call? There used to be one.

I got a FaceTime call once when I was in my freaking underwear. It was an ENORMOUS invasion of my privacy. When FaceTime first came out there was an option to receive the call with or without video.

Honestly, I feel like suing someone. From that call forward I don't just grab the phone. i make sure that the ****** thing is pointing at the ceiling.

But this is nothing new with Apple. Anytime you upgrade something you are so focused on the new bell or whistle that you don't even think about what key feature you might be throwing out. Honestly, over the past twenty years whenever Apple upgrades anything they always leave some important feature behind.
