A nifty trick is hiding in plain sight in your iPhone.
There’s a fast and straightforward option to configure a FaceTime call in order that users with an Android or Windows device can join seamlessly.
The easy hack, which recently resurfaced online, involves opening the FaceTime app and tapping the “create link” option on the highest left a part of a user’s screen.
From there, the organizing FaceTimer can devise a reputation for the link and send it out to non-iPhone users.
Recipients can open the link on up-to-date Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browsers, based on Apple.
Like a Zoom link, all recipients must do is join and configure their cameras to utilize this 2021 advancement released under iPhone Operating System 15.
Guests don’t have access to all of the FaceTime features that iPhone users are aware of, akin to screen sharing or starting a call, but they’ll flip or turn off their cameras and mute themselves.
Video calls may also be scheduled in Apple’s Calendar app by clicking the plus check in the highest right corner. FaceTime links may be added there.
Those trying to have the very best connection possible while FaceTiming can toggle their router’s settings to enable quality of service, which supplies “VIP” WiFi treatment to a user’s device.
There are various effortless hacks to optimize the iPhone experience.
One techster recently shared ways to change your iPhone’s accessibility features to yield “unlimited” battery life in your device.
AirPods headphones even have a “game changer” feature that helps reduce background noise.
One other iPhone owner found a “secret” way their phone can assist do laundry — while a fellow life hacker made a laundry list of easy, yet less known device functions.
