Face Time gestures not working on my iPhone 11

Hi 4ndr3aah

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Re: why isnt my facetime reactions working

Wondering if reactions may be turned off in control centre on your iPhone.

See how to: Use video conferencing features on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Reactions: Allows you to use hand gestures to add reactions.

When Reactions is turned off in Control Center, you can’t use hand gestures to add reactions, but you can add reactions by tapping the icons that appear when you touch and hold your tile in the call.

See Add reactions in a video call."

Eg: says: "Note: To use hand gestures, open Control Center,

tap Video Effects,

then make sure Reactions is turned on.

When using gestures, hold your hands away from your face,

and pause for a moment or two to activate the effect."

More info if needed: See how to use the FaceTime gestures (non-Apple article):

If reactions or gestures are still not working for you, please let us know what happens when you try ... eg: do you get an error message.

All the best :-)
