On iOS there's an app called Camo. There are probably others.

Camo (https://reincubate.com/camo/) has been absolutely fantastic. I wanted to use my iPhone Xs when on calls and not have to fiddle with with plugging it in every time I needed a video, so I ended up using an old iPhone 6 and it still destroys every webcam. $40/year isn't the cheapest but it works so much better than EpocCam (which I had been using before).

I’d second this. Camo is fantastic and with an armature mounted above my monitor I can get a much more flattering angle with a great picture even on an old 6+ front facing camera.

Camo is fantastic.

“Droid”Cam does a good job of turning my iPhone Xs into a USB webcam for Ubuntu.

iphone + lightning-digital-av-adapter + airmix solo[1] + camlink-4k = webcam

[1]: app that gives nice clean hdmi output, and has decent color/brightness controls
