Facetime will be integrated in the Messages app, and anyone in a group chat can join or leave an active Facetime whenever they want. Once in the video chat, participants will be shown in "tiles" that are responsive to who's talking in the conversation. When one person speaks up, their tile will get bigger as the others get smaller. Also, users can simply double tap on a certain tile to make it the prominent tile on their screen.

Double clicking on someone's tile will bring it to the forefront of the conversation.
Facetime in iOS 12 will also feature face filters, new customized animojis (that's Apple CEO Tim Cook below) and sticker packs. Users can add a filter to their face or camera, which will then be visible to everyone else in the conversation.
