Face time is an app that is very common to the iOS users ;whether you’re using an iPhone or a Mac, as long as you’re using an Apple device with camera, users can video chat with each other by downloading the facet time app from the Apple App Store, later in this article, we shall be discussing what face time is, a group face time and how to 3 way face time.
Face time is a video telephony app owned by Apple, which allows its users to make video calls using their devices. The face time app is very compatible with iPhone devices from iPhone up upwards iPad 2, iPod touch and other newer iOS devices. The app is readily available for download on App Store and the developers of iPhone encourage its users to adopt the beautiful method to call even though it’s exclusively for iPhone users.
A group face time involves video calls with up to 32 people at the same time, which takes the normal 2-party face time to a whole different level. A 3 way face time call or one that involves up to 10 and more persons show the participants of the call on small boxes on the screen, tapping on someone’s tile makes them become more visible for you to see them better.
