Apple does this on the iPhone, by default. When you're looking at someone's face on FaceTime, it modifies the position of your eyes to be looking directly at the camera - so the person on the other end sees you looking at them.

Really? We FaceTime a lot with my wife and I keep telling her that I can see her looking at her own face in the corner instead or me. Is that tech accurate enough to tell that the person is looking at themselves and not the other participant, and then not correcting the eyes if that’s the case?

Anyway, I’d much prefer if Apple didn’t silently alter the eye direction of people calling me.

I think their adjustment is very minor and only happens when you're looking directly at the camera. It's minor enough that you've almost certainly seen it and not noticed. She may have the setting disabled, or she may be looking far enough away from the camera that it isn't triggering.
