Apple has confirmed that FaceTime’s eye contact correction function will be provided in iOS 14, which first appeared in the early beta version of iOS 13.
Apple tested the feature in the iOS 13 beta for the first time and then removed it before releasing the official version. It is reported that this feature uses augmented reality and advanced image processing technology to make FaceTime participants look as if they are looking directly at the front camera and have normal eye contact instead of looking at the iPhone screen.
Although this feature has not been included in iOS 13, Apple seems to have solved the related problem and will add this feature in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.
On Apple’s iOS 14 feature introduction page, the company listed “eye contact” as a new feature of FaceTime. In the iOS 13 beta, this feature is called “Attention Correction”. “FaceTime can make video calls more natural, even if you look at the screen instead of the camera, it can also help you establish eye contact,” the function’s description reads.
iOS 14 also introduced new widgets, Siri enhancements, and a system-in-picture mode, which is currently in beta and will be released in the fall.
