@ 2018/12/06iOS 12.1.1 is coming today with many features in tow, but perhaps the best is the return of single-button camera flipping in FaceTime. It may not seem like a big deal, but this has been annoying since iOS 12 “broke” it.
If you’ve ever been on a FaceTime call with someone and wanted to show them something in the room, you know how convenient it is to quickly switch between the front and rear cameras with the tap of a button. But that was changed in iOS 12, with the feature moved behind into the menu a couple of taps away. Sure, it seems trivial, but this has been annoying FaceTime users since the change happened. Fortunately, today things will be going back to “normal.”
Otherwise, iOS 12.1.1 brings several other changes and improvement, like eSIM activation for more carriers, notification previews using haptic touch on the iPhone XR, Live Photo capture during FaceTime calls, and more.
This update also brings some bug fixes, including one where Face ID may temporarily become unavailable. Here’s a full look at everything in iOS 12.1.1:
