Using FaceTime on Android or Windows: everything you need to know

Although there are many alternatives to FaceTime for Android , the Apple app has great functions and is very complete. So, there is no doubt that this is one of the best video calling apps . So we’ve always wanted to try FaceTime on Android .

Apple knows this perfectly. That is why FaceTime now works on Windows and Android .

Now, we anticipate that there is no FaceTime app for these operating systems . As we told you a few weeks ago, FaceTime officially arrived on Android and Windows, but via the web .

And this means? Well, you are going to use the Apple call app from your browser . Other key points to know before trying FaceTime are the following:

  • Calls can only be initiated by the person with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac . For now, there is no way for Android or Windows users to do this.
  • The iPhone must be updated to iOS 15 .
  • If you are going to use an iPad, your tablet has to update to iPadOS 15 .
  • And in case you are going to make the call on a Mac, your laptop or PC must have macOS Monterey .
  • According to Apple, FaceTime works in Chrome and Microsoft Edge. To use the app, you need to download the latest version of the search engine for your Android or your PC .
