How to Use FaceTime Eye Contact

The FaceTime eye correction setting is designed to account for the minor differences in eyeline when you're looking at the person on the screen but not directly at your camera. Enabling the FaceTime attention correction feature (FaceTime Eye Contact) won't help you get away with doing other work while on calls, but the end result does feel more personal.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and select FaceTime.
3. Tap the Eye Contact toggle to turn it on and off. The toggle will be green when enabled, and gray when disabled.

Now FaceTime will use minor corrections to help your call feel and look more natural!
