How do I get rid of Fireworks, thumbs up & hearts on video calls? How to Fix Apple Video Gestures

[@dxmckenzie]

I spent hours trying to figure out how to fix the problem, and I'm grateful I found the solution in your video. Thank you so very much!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Glad it helped!

[@pastorluisrivasministry1292]

thank you very much for this video. I am a minister and preaching this thump up came out. non sense.

[@chris2fur401]

I’m a pastor. I recently was doing our Monday night prayer request live on Facebook. And got a thumbs down like that as well. Glad I’m not alone brother.

All of this. Imagine being an ASL Interpreter (that's me). It's a nightmare. I just updated the OS last week and it was horrifying. I don't know how many 'thumbs up' I use on a daily basis, I had no clue what movements I was using to make fireworks (until this video). Total dumpster fire of an update. Even when I thought I solved the problem, it would start again. Thanks for this video.

[@chadsmith3171]

Thank you for that. And I totally agree: we didn't ask for this feature. And to have it as a default? Come on, now.

I was on a Zalo call with my fiance from Vietnam. I saw a random white bubble thumbs down pop up on my screen. She has an I phone. She did not make a thumbs down gesture to trigger it. What happened?

[@wesleyaquino2232]

[@MrsNoraZ]

Great concrete and clear info! Thank you

[@GeoffreyHanan]

Thank you! Just turned mine off with your tips. I've had it happen during a couple final-stage job interview presentations 😩

[@CharleneMooreSC]

Thanks for sharing. I was baffled at the fireworks happening...

[@lopezni1985]

but they ARENT harmless - how do you think theyre being triggered? theyre processing your call images…not exactly privacy friendly is it

[@SekaiNoGaijin]

I love it that this video is 4:04 long. That is a deep cut.

[@gennyg8662]

THANK you! I spent several attempts to switch it off in zoom

[@10OF9OFBORG]

Thanks for the information Erin. Have an awesome day! ☕️☕️

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you! You too!

[@normajari8767]

It actually scared me the first few times because I thought someone else was on the line.

[@mohabarre6946]

I can’t find the other options only the Portrait

[@pierrelefort1998]

THANK YOU!! This video was super helpful

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

I'm so glad, thank you!

[@SyfofReal]

Thank you, luckily it happened when I was using a funny filter already.

[@super-gerald]

Not that I needed one, but that's just one more reason never to buy an Apple.

[@alignwithalison]

It worked. Thank you!

[@jack2media]

Heres how to do it 03:12

[@asktherightquestionspodcast]

Apple dropped the ball on this feature !

[@rosinageiger8474]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@tymz-r-achangin]

Sick n tired of the a$$holes at Apple who are forcing their features on us without ASKING us first if we even want those additional features, which often times are just ANNOYING features showing up without us first having accepted to use them.
I installed Skype on my Iphone and in the middle of doing video chat recording with my grandma, those stupid automated gestures and other things started showing up. Ruined my recording that was being done for our family album!

[@kathc659]

Thank You!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You're welcome!

[@RQPeterson]

Who in God's name at apple thought THIS was a good idea?!?!?

[@krisbrown04]

It’s so terrible.

[@Anniebear7f]

I like APPLE

[@fiscaldynamics]

YES! Gosh - turn these off!
