If you're my best friend,videos on free sex I'm happy to FaceTime you from my most unflattering angle. In fact, I insist on it. But if I'm meeting someone for the first time via video chat, then I'm looking for the best lighting and probably staring at my own little square more than whoever's on the other end.
With iOS 15, the iPhone's latest software update, we all get one more FaceTime trick to feed our egos and look our best: Portrait Mode. Apple officially released iOS 15 on Sept. 20, 2021.
OK, yes, technically Portrait Mode only changes your background and not your actual face. But something about that smoothed-out scene behind you makes everyone look a little better. Think about how good your Portrait Mode photos look!
Whether you're going on a first date via FaceTime or making a more professional video call, turning on Portrait Mode in FaceTime is worth it and super simple.

Tap on your video feed during calls
