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 Check → Join. 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
