FaceTime camera effects missing in iOS 26?

[twr1974]

I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere, but I think Apple removed the camera effects from FaceTime in iOS 26. You can still replace your head with a Memoji, but the rest of the effects (text, stickers, drawing your image as a cartoon or stencil) are missing.

Here’s the documentation from iOS 18: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/change-your-appearance-iph8f357526d/18.0/ios/18.0

Here’s the analogous page in the iOS 26 docs: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-video-conferencing-features-iphaa0b5671d/ios

I was a little sad to see this go.

Yes, it seems to be gone now. Sad too because me and my daughter loved playing with the stickers.

Remember that time during Covid when a lawyer turned himself into a cat during a zoom call with a judge? That's lol 🙀😹
