In iOS 14, calls from your iPhone, FaceTime and third-party VoIP apps appear in a new compact design that doesn’t take up the whole screen. Follow along with us as we show you how to use and customize this cool feature.
You have the ability to capture a Live Photo during a FaceTime call for a great way to remember the moment. Here’s how to enable or disable the feature.
AutoAnswer X is a new jailbreak tweak that can automatically answer incoming calls based on specific criteria. And yes, it provides more than the stock option in iOS 11.
Group FaceTime calling has even yanked out of iOS 12 beta 7 and macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 7, possibly indicating that Apple might have pulled the feature simply because it felt it wasn’t ready for prime time yet.
Do you ever look at yourself from your iPhone’s front-facing camera and hate what you see? SelfieTime uses real-time face-tracking to improve your looks for selfies and FaceTime video calls.
At long last, Apple’s implemented the ability for your iPhone to auto-answer any incoming calls on your behalf, including FaceTime calls and those from other apps, like WhatsApp.
The other day I overheard a woman at the coffee shop spiritedly conversing on FaceTime with what I can only presume was her mother. The topic of discussion had been the daughter’s holiday trip, and her mom said something that struck a chord with me: why can’t you show me the photos on here? This got me thinking (at which point I stopped listening in, promised). Since its inception, FaceTime has received dreadfully little attention from Apple. The introduction of FaceTime Audio aside, the service practically makes for an absolute freeze-up in an otherwise constantly forward moving software environment.
As consumers, we have become used to companies spending more resources and time on pet projects of theirs and conversely less on comparably idle services, but what is astonishing is that this analogy does not explain the ongoing neglect of FaceTime. Because for all its faults and plainness, FaceTime is tremendously popular. For reasons only known to the Cupertino giant however, it does barely show in the application’s development. To add insult to injury, the lackluster state is likely to persist for yet another year until the next big software update for iOS rolls in. Never mind the fact this means forever in industry years, but it’s even worse because FaceTime is already adrift of the competition.
With that said, it is time for Apple to start play catch-up and resuscitate the service. Since the coffee shop encounter, I have been mulling over how Apple could ramp up the offering realistically in the near future. Here is what I believe is feasible and crucial for FaceTime to implement within the next year:
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to configure your FaceTime ringtone on your Mac so it sounds the same as your iPhone.
In this piece, we’ll talk about why you might be getting FaceTime errors on your iOS device and walk you through some ways to correct the problem.
For deeper customization of the incoming call screen from iOS that goes deeper than just blurring your wallpaper background or showing the contact picture of the person who is calling you, you may want to check out a new jailbreak tweak called LiveRinging.
This tweak replaces the background of the incoming call screen with a video of your choice and gives iOS a feature Android users know and love known as video ringtones.
In this review, we’ll show you how LiveRinging works and demonstrate its capabilities.
From the onset, the iPhone has supported common features such as mid-call switching to an incoming phone call, creating a conference call between multiple parties and more. These features extend to FaceTime, Apple’s solution for making audio and video calls over the Internet that bypass a carrier’s voice network.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a quick transition to a FaceTime call on your iPhone without hanging up on the current call.
