The superhero lucahnew Portrait Mode for video chat on iOS 15, which launched Sept. 20, 2021, isn't just for FaceTime; third-party apps like Instagram are getting in on the blurry fun too.
Hey, we're not complaining. Portrait Mode only makes us look better, and if more video chat apps are working with it, we'll take it.
While I can't say Instagram is my preferred video chat method, it is handy for reaching people who might not have FaceTime capabilities or Zoom accounts. And lucky for you, we've got a guide on how to turn on Portrait Mode next time you find yourself needing to make an Instagram video call.
The call button is quite easy to find. Credit: Screenshot: Instagram Once you're on their profile, tap the "Call" button that should appear next to the "Following" and "Message" buttons.
No possible way to use Portrait Mode on an audio call, so make sure you tap video. Credit: Screenshot: Instagram Instagram will ask if you want to make a video or audio call. Obviously, we want the video option here.
New options! Credit: Screenshot: Apple Interestingly, the Portrait Mode setting is not within the Instagram app itself. Once you pull up your Notification Center, you should see two new boxes at the very top: Video Effects and Mic Mode.
Just tap that little button on. Credit: Screenshot: Apple Tap "Video Effects," and the box should enlarge. Then, tap on the button to turn Portrait Mode on.
And here's what it looks like with Portrait Mode on in Instagram! Credit: Screenshot: Instagram Nothing to focus on but your beautiful face!
