While there are some excellent video chatting services like Google Meet and Zoom, Apple’s FaceTime remains one of the most popular video calling services, especially for iOS users.
First, FaceTime is preinstalled on iPhones, so users do not have to go through the hassle of downloading and setting up third-party applications. Second, FaceTime is very secure thanks to its tight integration with Apple hardware and software. Still, the tech giant surprised everyone by introducing support for FaceTime call on Windows and Android devices. But beware: Apple has not released the FaceTime app for Android on the Google Play Store or for Windows on the Microsoft Store. Instead, all iOS users can now create a link in the FaceTime app to share with PC and Android users to join the call.
