A FaceTime call in progress. Your image appears in a smaller tile in the lower right, and the image of the other person fills the rest of the screen. Across the bottom of the screen are the Live Photo, Effects, and Flip to Back Camera buttons. The FaceTime controls are at the top of the screen, including the Open Messages, Audio, Mute Off, Camera On, and Share Content buttons. At the top of the controls are the name or Apple ID of the person you’re talking to, and the End button.
