How can I restore FaceTime reactions on my iPhone 16? For some reason my FaceTime reactions stopped working. When I looked up the solutions, it tells me to use the video effect button on my control center, but it’s not there. I’ve tried searching for it on the “add options” thing and searching for it in settings but nothing comes up.

FaceTime effects can only be accessed during a FaceTime call. Available options are accessed, during a call, from the Control Centre.
