Apple Has a Surprising FaceTime Feature for PC and Android Phone Owners

No special software needed. Whether you have an Android phone or a Windows PC, Apple made it so you can join FaceTime calls with iPhone owners.

FaceTime is one of the most popular features on the iPhone and lets users make video and audio calls across Apple devices. But for years if you had a friend or family member on an Android phone or PC you weren’t able to have them join. All that changed in 2021, when the iPhone-maker made it possible for Android and Windows users to join FaceTime calls. This was one of the initial steps Apple took to make its ecosystem more accessible, though these changes are still quite limited.

For example, while iMessage remains exclusive to iOS, Apple announced RCS support as part of iOS 18 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Rich Communication Services is used widely on Android phones for texting and Apple’s adoption should improve the messaging experience between iPhone users and those on Android devices. This doesn’t mean the end of blue and green bubbles, though. The announcement is another sign that Apple sees value in giving Android users access to some of its most well-known features, albeit on its own terms.

When Apple announced it was expanding FaceTime access, many were under the impression that Apple had made FaceTime for Android, when in reality the company had made it possible for people to join a FaceTime call from a web browser. This means Android and PC users can participate in FaceTime conversations, but there’s a catch: they can’t initiate calls directly, they can only join when invited. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to initiate FaceTime calls to Android users if you’re an iPhone user, and how to receive FaceTime calls if you use an Android phone.

FaceTime: How to video chat on Android or a PC

Like with any call, someone has to initiate it. And if you’re on an Android phone or using a PC, that person is going to have to be someone with an iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Here’s how to initiate a FaceTime call as an iOS user:

Open the FaceTime app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap Create Link.
A screen will slide up from the bottom that says FaceTime Link.
Click Add Name to enter a name for your chat.
On the same screen, you’ll see options to share the FaceTime link via Messages, Mail, Calendar or other apps on your iPhone or iPad. You can also choose to copy and paste the link yourself.

The process is nearly identical to generating a FaceTime video call link from a Mac.

If you’re an Android user, here’s how to join a FaceTime call:

Click the FaceTime call link sent by an iOS user.
The link will open in your browser (you’ll need the latest version of Chrome or Edge).
Enter your name, and tap Continue.
Wait for the iOS host to let you in.
Enjoy your cross-platform FaceTime conversation.

If you’re on a PC, this process works as well.

Remember, Android alternatives including Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams allow Android users to initiate video calls, and remain great options for video calls between Android and iOS devices.
