How to Facetime With an Android/Samsung Phone
Facetime is an Apple application that can only be used by devices running Apple OS. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use Facetime on Android phones. Here are a few methods you can use to make video calls with an Android smartphone.
Android to Android
Facetime between Android devices is not possible because you cannot download or initiate a call with the Facetime software because it is not an Apple device. Instead, you may utilize social media apps like Facebook Messenger and Snapchat to have video chats, and here are some other options.
1. Google Meet
A great video chatting app for Android phones is Google Meet, and it isn’t too shabby even though it is a later copy of Facetime. With Google Meet, the principles are quite similar. As long as you have WiFi, you can use Google Meet to call your contacts directly from your phone or Google account. Additionally, you can easily plan and schedule meetings and create calls.
2. Viber
Viber is an all-in-one app. Would you like to call your friends? Would you like to video chat or just send a message? All of that can be accomplished with Viber, and it is completely free of charge. An internet connection is all you need to use Viber. In addition to being very secure, Viber has also made a social platform function where you can join groups of people who share similar interests.
iPhone to Android
Apple’s iOS 15 now allows you to Facetime with smartphones other than iPhones. It is an excellent tool for communication and it is simple to use. The Android phone does not need to download an app, and you only need to open the FaceTime app on the iPhone and send a link to the receiver.
How to Facetime with an Android phone:
Open the Facetime app (for iPhones and iPads, you’ll need iOS 15 or higher installed), and when you choose to start a new Facetime, you can also create a Facetime link. You can copy or share this link, and once done, the receiver simply needs to paste it into a browser like Google, type their name, and join.
