During a Facetime call, when swiping the control center down, the Video Effects and Mic Mode are not present. Tried hard reset.
Note: other apps that use the Camera (ex. Instagram) will show these controls when the same is performed.
iPhone 12 running current 16.0.3.

Hey there askinforafriend,
This is strange behavior as we agree, both Video Effects and Mic Mode should be present in Control Center when using FaceTime, especially since you see those options in other apps that use it. As we see you have the latest iOS 16.0.3 release, we can rule out being outdated. Let's rule out some other possible causes:
Cheers.

Ana from Apple Support was able to help in this case. Issue was FaceTime app was not installed on device, so #2 fits in this case. Since FaceTime calls could be made through contacts app, it wasn’t clear you needed the FaceTime app to have the complete FaceTime experience (mic mode and video effects). This may have not always been the case but since ios16, appears so.
