Why is my facetime self view a square?

It’s not a group call, it is very annoying, does anyone know how to disable it? I’d really like for it to be a vertical rectangle again.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello dezzzzzzzzz,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that during FaceTime calls, you and the person you're calling is shown in a square instead of them being shown as full screen. If that's right, does restarting your iPhone resolve the issue? Restarting can resolve many odd issues: Restart your iPhone


If the behavior continues, let us know more:


  • Were you previously on a group call or using the SharePlay feature?
  • Does this happen with all contacts or only some?


The more details you can provide the better.


Take care.
