According to latest rumor, iOS 11 features group video FaceTime calling, and is all set to bring the said capability to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. iOS 11 is widely expected to be announced at this year's WWDC event.
Here's how to fix Cellular Date (3G/4G/LTE), iMessage and FaceTime not working issue after iOS 10 jailbreak.
Here’s how you can find out how much data usage FaceTime video and audio calls require over cellular or Wi-Fi network. For more details head past the jump.
Apple has today enabled two-step verification for both FaceTime and iMessage. The move brings Apple's two communication platforms in line with its other iCloud and App Store offerings, adding a much needed extra layer of security.
FaceTime serves as a great way for owners of iOS device users to communicate in a face-to-face manner, but while it's ideal for video chatting with family and friends, there's no platform for meeting new people. Thanks to a new little website called FaceTime Plus, though, this is now possible, and in essence, it's very much FaceTime meets Chatroulette.
Taking part in an impromptu FaceTime call is becoming an increasingly popular event during musical events. First we had Beyoncé taking an iPhone out of a fan’s hand and talking to her friend through FaceTime during one of her performances. Now we have the news that Nine Inch Nails’ frontman Trent Reznor invoked a FaceTime call with one of his friends during a show in Las Vegas. Although FaceTime itself is an extremely emotive way to communicate, the feeling was further heightened by the fact that the friend in question is currently suffering from terminal colon cancer.
It's fair to say that, while the rear-facing cameras of mobile devices seem to be improving vastly with each year that goes by, the front-facing snappers are used sparingly due to their vast inferiority. In fact, video calling aside, you'd have to be pretty mad to take any snaps or record any clips using your smartphone or tablet's front shooter, but a brand-new sensor from Omnivision could see this trend well and truly bucked.
Remember when Apple first introduced the FaceTime video calling service in 2010, causing quite a big stir? Video calling on a mobile device wasn't anything new or revolutionary, after all, one of the core services when networks started pushing out UMTS connectivity was the ability to make device-to-device video calls. As usual, Apple somehow managed to make this feature seem exclusive to iOS devices and was made even more palatable to users due to the fact that it was free over a wireless connection.
The "another day, another tweak" cliché has never been more relevant than in the current state of play. Last weekend saw the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S join every other iDevice in the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak wonderland, and developers have been pushing those tweaks through the Cydia store at an incredible rate ever since.
FaceTime was introduced by Apple in 2010 and has gained popularity since. With more products such as Macs, iPad 2 and iPod touch being supported, the video-call software has become more flexible.
