iOS 27.2 brings several enhancements to FaceTime, including the long-awaited Dual Capture feature, which allows for simultaneous use of both front and rear cameras. Previously limited to one-on-one calls, this upgrade has now been expanded to work on all video calls, including group sessions, with iPhone 17 or newer models. To activate the feature, simply press the 'Flip' button during a video call.
Moreover, iOS 27.2 introduces support for third-party sign language interpreters and live captioning, making FaceTime more accessible for users who rely on these services. By tapping the 'Sign Language' button within the three-dot icon, users can choose an installed VRS app for direct access to an interpreter. The interpreter's name will then display after they join the call.
Additionally, the iPhone Duo, paired with iOS 27.2, now offers an Edge Light feature across multiple video calling apps. This feature, similar to the Mac's implementation, adds a ring of light around the iPhone Duo display to better illuminate the user's face during calls. To enable Edge Light, users can access Control Center during a FaceTime call, tap 'FaceTime Controls,' and then select 'Edge Light.' From there, they can adjust settings such as intensity and color temperature.
