FaceTime has become integral to staying connected with friends and family, allowing you to see and hear loved ones even when miles apart. Apple has introduced the Visual Contact feature to enhance the visual experience during FaceTime calls.
This feature enables your iPhone’s front camera to adjust its framing based on movement, ensuring you stay in the frame even when moving around. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of using FaceTime Visual Contact on your iPhone.
How to Use FaceTime Visual Contact on iPhone
1. Update to iOS 15
Ensure that your iPhone is running on iOS 15 or later. The Visual Contact feature is available on compatible devices with this software version.
2. Make a FaceTime Call
Open the FaceTime app on your iPhone and initiate a video call with your contact, as you would typically do.
3. Enable Visual Contact
During the FaceTime call, look for the Visual Contact button. This button resembles a small eye icon located at the screen’s bottom left corner.
4. Tap the Visual Contact Button
Tap on the Visual Contact button to enable the feature. Once activated, your iPhone’s front camera will adjust its framing to keep you centered in the video call, even if you move around.

With Visual Contact enabled, feel free to move around while staying within the view of your iPhone’s camera. Whether grabbing a cup of coffee or adjusting your surroundings, the camera will adjust to keep you focused.
6. Disable Visual Contact
If you want to disable Visual Contact, tap the Visual Contact button again to turn off the feature. Your camera framing will then remain fixed until you enable it again.
7. End the Call
When you’re ready to end the FaceTime call, tap the red “End” button at the bottom of the screen.

Visual Contact is designed to make your FaceTime experience more dynamic and convenient—experiment with moving around during calls and enjoy the seamless adjustment of the camera framing.
