At WWDC 2021, Apple subtly announced FaceTime will come to Android and other non-Apple devices with the release of iOS 15.
The reveal came in the midst of the tech giant detailing FaceTime’s new links feature, which lets people create a FaceTime link similar to how other video calling services work. Users can share these links and people can click them to join a call.
FaceTime links will open in web browsers for people who don’t have an Apple device, allowing anyone to participate in a FaceTime call. It’s a really neat addition that should make FaceTime a more popular video calling option for everyone, whether they use an Apple device or not.
Hopefully, this means Apple will also bring iMessage to Android, although that seems incredibly unlikely.
