How to change FaceTime camera icon back to original?

My facetime green camera icon has changed to a grid on white background. Can I change this back to original?

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

Sounds like a Home Screen icon style change. Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Customize, and set it back to Default or Light instead of Tinted or Clear.

Menu names vary a bit by iPadOS version, so tell us what version you're on if you don't see it.
