Earlier, FaceTime was only available on iOS devices like iPhone, iPad or iPod. Now Apple’s FaceTime supports android devices and advanced PCs. Android and Windows users can now join FaceTime calls via a web app. Before you can chat with someone using Windows or Android, you need to make a link for them to join.

• Start the FaceTime app on your iPhone
• Tap Create Link The share sheet will open. You can tap Copy to copy the link and paste it wherever you like, or choose an app or person to share it with.
• When you’re done, you’ll see the FaceTime Link call in the main history list under “Upcoming” calls.
• The call hasn’t started yet, and it won’t until you tap that upcoming “FaceTime Link” call and then tap “Join” in the upper right. Tap the info button (i) on the call if you need to share the link again or if you want to delete it. The link should remain active until it’s manually removed, so you can add it to a calendar event a month away or schedule a FaceTime call for next year’s Mother’s Day. Other feature additions to FaceTime include the option to blur your background with ‘portrait mode’, voice isolation mode, wide spectrum mode. Much like Zoom, Facetime now also allows you to schedule calls so that people can join in at the right time. See also: The best 5 iOS 15 features you need to know about

SharePlay. It’s a new software feature on top of FaceTime that allows you to watch and listen to movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, and more with friends and family while video chatting. To use SharePlay on an iPhone:

• First, make sure that everyone on the call is using iOS 15 and iPadOS 15.
• Next, start a FaceTime call — either one-on-one or a group call — with everyone you want to watch or listen with.
• Once you’ve done that, exit out of the FaceTime call (which will automatically move to a picture-in-picture window) and head over to a SharePlay-compatible app.
• After that, playing something over SharePlay is as simple as it is when you’re just watching or listening alone: just select whatever content you want, and it’ll play for everyone.
• Controlling a SharePlay stream just requires that you play, pause, and skip around as you usually would. SharePlay automatically keeps everyone’s streams in sync so that if one person pauses to get a snack, the movie will pause for everyone.
• You have two options for ending a stream: either end it for everyone on the SharePlay call or end it just for you (letting everyone else continue to watch. See also: All the ways Siri is changing in iOS 15
