How to FaceTime an Android User from Your iPhone

Yes, iPhone users can now FaceTime with friends on Android. The secret? A FaceTime link you create and share. No apps or hacks required—just a browser.

Here’s how to do it in under a minute:

1. Open FaceTime on your iPhone

  • Launch the FaceTime app (built into every iPhone).

2. Create a FaceTime link

  • Tap “Create Link” at the top.
  • This generates a unique FaceTime meeting link—just like a Zoom or Google Meet invite.

3. Share the link with your Android friend

  • Choose Messages, WhatsApp, Email, or Copy Link.
  • Send it however you usually chat with them.

4. Android joins via browser

  • When your friend taps the link, it opens in Google Chrome or any modern browser.
  • They’ll enter their name and tap Join.

5. Approve the join request

  • You’ll see a request pop up in FaceTime.
  • Tap CheckJoin. Boom—you’re connected.

Tips to Make It Smooth

  • Use Wi-Fi: Video quality is much better than on mobile data.
  • Update iOS: Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 15 or later.
  • Browser matters: Android users should stick to Chrome for the best results.
  • No Apple ID
