How to FaceTime on Android

With the introduction of iOS 15, Android devices can now participate in FaceTime calls with Apple devices, however there are a few limitations to this. Android devices can only join pre-existing calls between Apple devices, and cannot create new calls. This is because the software works through the web browser on the device, and can therefore do little more than join a call with an explicitly-sent link. This How.com.vn will help you send and receive a FaceTime link for an Android device.
