iPhone users have always had the convenience of video calling other iPhone or Mac users directly from their dialer. That’s because FaceTime, like iMessage, offers a seamless experience across all of Apple’s devices, and with recent updates to the app, users now get a ton of extra features, including music sharing, SharePlay streaming, and support for Android and Windows.

FaceTime is already a great tool for casual video calls, but you can spice it up with the video effects that Apple offers natively within the app. In this post, we'll explain all the effects you can apply to FaceTime and how to easily add them to your video calls.

Apple makes your FaceTime video calls more exciting with interactive video effects that you can apply from a call screen. You can use these effects to change your appearance during a call, display 3D effects, blur your surroundings, and add special elements to your camera feed, such as text, stickers, and shapes.

The availability of effects within FaceTime varies depending on the effect you want to use.
