facetime on android is finally here
ios news 15. yeah huge news
android has been waiting for this for a
long
time and this was actually the biggest
surprise for me that came out of wwdc
apple's developer conference
are people going to abandon their
iphones and switch to android because of
this
maybe i don't think so because it's
really an interest let's just dive in
and show people how it works
so open facetime on my iphone running
ios 15 i'll tap create link
and i'm going to message this to john
phone so first thing to keep in mind is
that you can't start a facetime call
from an android there's no facetime app
what you can do is get a link from
someone with an iphone
and then join their facetime call david
lynch all right so
i'll tap join my facetime i'll hop in
there too
on android you have to enter your name
so tap continue
and before we actually set this thing up
david has to click join on his phone i'm
going to click join eventually on mine
yep there are a few different options
here and right now you're staring at our
ceiling
but i can just pick this up right here
and you can see that the quality is
actually
really good based on what i'm seeing on
this phone
and you've got a few buttons at the top
you've got a full screen button
you've got the microphone to turn that
on or turn it off
you can also toggle the camera so that
you're using the back camera
and these three dots give you a little
bit more control and you can also share
a link from here
so what i'm going to do is tap done
right here and what i notice too
is that the user interface
base like here at the top looks better
than the android user interface
and i think this is kind of why apple is
doing this is they're giving
android users a taste of what they're
missing so i'm going to tap
join here all right john would like to
join this call
i'll click the green check
and there we go i'm gonna one of us has
to here we go
all right muted the camera otherwise we
need a lot of echo but yeah
there we go we're on the facetime call
how you doing all right good doing great
as david said
you can't start a facetime call from an
android there is no facetime app
but if you're in a facetime call you can
share the link with other iphone people
so i'm going to tap share link
and tap messages here i'm going to send
it to
myself on my iphone send away that link
and while you're doing that you're
actually paused on my
facetime how interesting so i'll just
hop back into your facetime there by
going back to chrome
you are let's have a ton here look how
well this works okay
oh look at that joe pixel just sent me a
link
photoshop phone oh this is john up home
i get confused look at that little join
button go ahead and join button
it opens natively in the facetime app
which is great i
need to tap join here you should then
get a little message
and here we are if i want to i can just
tap join and then i would get added to
this call as well
click join let him in need to let me in
yep there you go
would you let me in
[Music]
i would one thing to keep in mind is
that this is in beta it's a little
clunky
things might not always go smoothly
right there's also a lot of cool
features this is not a very good segue
that are built in to the iphone version
at least
so if i tap my phone face here let's tap
on the star
lower left hand corner of the screen and
you know there's filters
so comic book ah look at that
h film what does it look like in your
phone yeah it looks good it looks really
cool
me as an android user i can't do any of
that it's the cool stuff yeah
you know what i'm going to do i'm going
to go right to the store and buy myself
an iphone buy yourself a new iphone
uh what kind of class system they've
invented here stickers emoji stickers if
i want to
stick a giraffe on my face oh it's on
your shoulder now to my shoulder how
about that
come here get the yellow brackets put it
in your face
this is good video yes stuff yes it's an
art
tracks well i can't even close out of it
i can't do anything
yeah you can't put a giraffe on your own
nose it's too bad can't do it got an
android
but i can join your facetime call and
that's a gift
let us know your thoughts if you have an
android and you've used this with a
facetime person or if you'd just like to
ask your apple friends to
please send you a facetime link remember
that this doesn't come out until
