Apple introduced the Facetime function for PC and Android owners

Apple once introduced Facetime-one of the most popular iPhone functions. In it, people could make video and audio calls. Naturally, on Apple devices.

Apple for many years did not take into account that your friends and relatives can have devices on Android. Moreover, there was a whole segment of inhabitants who ignored the mobile phones. These preferred only a PC, writes Xrust. All this mass was overboard. It's a shame, true.

In the 2021st, the iPhone manufacturer corrected the omission-provided the possibility of Android and Windows owners to join Facetime. This was one of the first steps taken by Apple to make its ecosystem more affordable.

For example, although Imessage remains exclusive for iOS, Apple announced the support of RCS as part of the iOS 18 at its World Developers Conference in June. The Rich Communication Services is widely used on Android phones to send text messages, and the acceptance of Apple should improve the experience of messaging between iPhone users and Android users.

when Apple announced the expansion of access to Facetime, many were impressive that Apple made Facetime for Android. In fact, the company made it possible for people to join the Facetime from the web browser. This means that Android and PC users can participate in the conversations Facetime.

However, there is a nuance-they cannot call themselves. You need an invitation. Now it has been possible to initiate Facetime calls to Android users.
