FaceTime has set Apple and Android apart for years, but no longer. One of the biggest developments from Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference this year was the announcement that Androids and PCs would finally be able to use FaceTime! Today, I'll show you everything you need to know about how to use FaceTime on Android.
Can I Use FaceTime On Android?
Yes! Anyone with an iPhone running iOS 15 can now invite their friends with Androids to FaceTime using FaceTime Links. Once an iPhone user sends someone with an Android a link, the Android user can open the link from their browser and join the call!
How To Use FaceTime On Android
To use FaceTime on Android, you'll first want to make sure the iPhone you're FaceTiming has updated to iOS 15. You can check if the iPhone has installed this update by opening the Settings app, tapping General, and selecting Software Update.
Once the iPhone is up to date, just open FaceTime on the iPhone and tap Create Link. Then, tap the Share button and select the contact with an Android you'd like to FaceTime. Finally, tap the Send button.
Next, open the FaceTime link from your Android and enter your name. After tapping Join, you'll be added to the FaceTime call from your Android.
