You can easily communicate with others with FaceTime — here's how

Stay in touch with family and friends easily with Apple's own built-in app, FaceTime.

Making FaceTime video or audio calls is ridiculously easy to do. There's a built-in FaceTime app on every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, and FaceTime is also integrated into the Phone app on iPhone. As long as you're on Wi-Fi or cellular data, you can stay in touch with family and friends, even while traveling, connect with anyone in the world, even without a long distance plan, and not only hear but see the people you're talking to.

It's like having all the people you care about most right there in front of you.

Best of all, it's easy to use!

How to make a FaceTime Audio or Video call on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open FaceTime on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the + button.

  3. Type the name, email address or number that you want to call.

  4. Enter more names, email addresses or numbers if you want to create a group call.

  5. Tap Audio or Video to start your call.

How to make a FaceTime Audio or Video call on your Mac

How to switch from a regular call to FaceTime on your iPhone

After that, just complete the steps of making a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad.
