After iOS 17 update on the iPad the camera for FaceTime is stuck on the rear camera After IOS 17 Update on the iPad the camera for FaceTime is stuck on the rear camera. I found no way to flip it. On „my“ little picture are 3 icons only, the flip one is missing. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 17 front camera keeps tracking my face in WhatsApp Hi, I’m on an iPhone 17 running the latest iOS, and every time I open the front camera in WhatsApp it automatically tracks my face and tries to center me. It happens even when I’m just taking a photo, not on a call. I’ve already turned off Auto Zoom and Auto Rotate in the Camera app, turned off WhatsApp’s camera effects, turned off face tracking on FaceTime, turned off Face ID, reinstalled the app, and restarted the phone. Nothing changes. It looks like some kind of system-level face tracking that WhatsApp is picking up from the iPhone’s camera, even though I’ve disabled everything I can find. Is there any way to stop this completely? I’m not trying to always focus on my face. It’s very distracting. Thanks.
