If you are a frequent FaceTime user, you might have noticed a new "F" button after updating to iOS 17. This "F" button in FaceTime makes the background of your video blurry, similar to when you're taking a photo in Portrait mode. In this article, we'll go over what this button does, how to adjust the blurriness of your background when using it, and list more FaceTime updates from iOS 17.
Steps
How to Adjust the "F" Button Effects
- Tap the F button during a FaceTime call. The background behind you in your video will become blurry, similar to when you're taking a Portrait mode photo.
- Swipe down from the upper-right corner to open the Control Center. Make sure not to swipe from the top middle of the screen, as this will open your notifications.
- Tap Video Effects. It's in the upper-left corner and has a green icon of a video camera.
- Tap the three dots next to "Portrait". It's in the middle of the screen, under the video preview.
- Drag the depth slider to adjust the amount of blur. The more you move the slider to the left, the blurrier your background will become.
