Get FaceTime on Android and PC

This is true, you can talk with your friends over FaceTime using Android or PC, yes, with your camera on, with some FaceTime effects. But, there’s always some catch. Here are a few things you should know before getting into using FaceTime on Android or PC:

There is no standalone app for FaceTime on Android or PC as of now (very unlikely to happen in the future as well).You cannot create a FaceTime account using Android or PC.You cannot start a FaceTime call from a PC or Android.Somebody who uses FaceTime on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac should invite you to their call for you to start using FaceTime on Android or PC.FaceTime link-sharing is only available on iOS 15 or higher.

With these, it is already clear that Apple is not fully bringing FaceTime to Android or PC. But the best part is that you can join a FaceTime call from any device. You can now talk with your friends without an Apple device. Do you want to try FaceTime or call your friends who are all over FaceTime? You can ask them to share a FaceTime call link. If your iPhone using friend does not know, share this article with them and tell them to go through all the steps below.
