FaceTime App
Audio and Video Calls
Your iPhone’s FaceTime app can make audio and video calls, as long as
they’re to another Apple device. This can be an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch,
Mac or even Apple Watch (audio only); as FaceTime calls are made over
the Internet, they’re free. You can even make group calls, with several
people appearing on screen at once for a party chat.

Press the FaceTime camera at the
top of a contact card to for a video

call. In the FaceTime app, previous calls are
listed; tap one to repeat the call.

In video chats, you’re in the small
window, while your contact is in the
main screen. Tap the screen to get the
controls. To switch between the front and
rear cameras, tap the Camera icon. Tap the
big red button to end the video call.

Tap the screen to show the controls,

When you start a new FaceTime call from the FaceTime app, by tapping
the + icon and typing a number or email address instead of tapping a
previous call, you get the option of using video or audio chat. You see
green buttons appear. Tap the one you want to place the call.
