FaceTime

New to the forum...my FaceTime app has a split screen - my face, ugh, and a contacts/favorites/recents screen. No shutter or camera button. Can I reset it?

Umm, what were you expecting? That's the initial screen for FaceTime; when you initiate a call by tapping on a contact, the contacts list will disappear. When the contact answers, you'll seem them with yourself in a small window.

There is never a camera or shutter button (that I'm aware of). FaceTime is a video calling app, not a camera! There are a couple of useful features - you can switch between the front and back cameras with the little "turn around camera" icon, and you can take a screenshot by pressing the home and on/off buttons simultaneously.

Hope the helps
