How to Use FaceTime With Android and More – Guide

Apple has made FaceTime more universally useful by making it available on just about any device with a modern browser. To use it, you’ll need to be comfortable with using Chrome or Firefox. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Open up Chrome or Firefox and sign in to your account.
  2. On the main screen, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window and select “Add account.”
  3. Type in your Apple ID and password and click on “Add account.”
  4. If you’re using an iPhone, you’ll now see a blue icon in the top right corner of your screen that says “FaceTime.”
  5. Click on it to start talking with someone else!

Android apps are not available on the iPhone. ..

Apple has released a way for Android users to access FaceTime chats, through a link. This means that anyone with a modern browser can now join in on your calls. ..

To use FaceTime with Android, open the FaceTime app on your iPhone. You will see two buttons on the top. 1 button is familiar, the New FaceTime button. The other one, Create Link, is new in iOS 15. If you tap Create Link, the Share Extensions will allow you to send a link to your FaceTime conversation in a variety of ways.

I tested sending this link through Facebook Messenger and Messaging. Both seem to work fine, but Facebook Messenger tries to open the link in its own browser. This doesn’t always work, but the page prompts the Android user to copy the link and open it in Chrome. ..

Starting a video chat with non-iPhone users

If you tap the Create Link button and send that link to your friend who uses Android, they can join your FaceTime link. All they have to do is tap the link and it will open in their browser. The web page asks them to enter a name to join. They don’t even need an Apple ID. After they type in the name and tap continue, they need to tap the green Join button button. That’s all on their side, but you still have a little work to do on yours.

You can add anyone you want to FaceTime with on your iPhone, but it may take a few seconds for them to join. When they’re ready, tap the green checkmark and they’ll be added to the call.

The Google Home Mini is still in beta, but it seems to work well. My friend was using a very simple Android phone, an LG Stylo 6. She was outside and not using a wi-fi network. Even so, the quality was very good. I could hear her perfectly, and her video never seemed to slow down or stutter. ..
