FaceTime

FaceTime is brilliant -- but because of the position of the camera, it's impossible to make conversations seem natural. Until now, that is. The latest version of the iOS 13 beta includes a setting that uses Apple's magical ARKit to make your FaceTime video calls seem a lot more natural.

Having fixed a FaceTime bug that let users eavesdrop on calls, another issue with Apple's video chat app appears to have surfaced. It concerns adding people to group calls, though there is a workaround. Apple launched group calls for FaceTime in 2018, though the rollout has been far from smooth.

FaceTime is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, but many don't need it, or simply don't want it. Thankfully, it's very easy to disable FaceTime, both on your iPhone or iPad, and on your Mac. Here's how to disable FaceTime for yourself, no matter which device you're using it on.

FaceTime group calls are back, so long as you update your iDevice with the fix that Apple just rolled out. It fixes a FaceTime flaw that let people eavesdrop on the people they were calling. Lawmakers are now asking Apple to explain the background to what they described as a "significant privacy violation."

News of a serious FaceTime bug that let iPhone users eavesdrop on the person they were calling went viral on Tuesday. It now appears that a teen and his mom tried to warn Apple about the flaw multiple times, but the "poorly set-up" bug-reporting process made it difficult to make contact.

Apple has taken FaceTime group calling offline to help address any privacy concerns related to the eavesdropping bug, but disabling FaceTime altogether might be the best way to avoid any issues moving forward. Here's how to do that on your iPhone, MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini.

With the release of the iOS 12.1 update, users can now take advantage of the new Group FaceTime feature. Using your Apple device, you're now able to video chat with up to 32 people at once. Whether it's on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, here's how to set up Group FaceTime calls.

Apple will soon make it easier for organizations, businesses, and families to stay in tocuh through group video chats. After pulling the Group FaceTime feature from earlier betas prior to launching MacOS Mojave, Apple is now starting to test the group video chat feature again for its release of MacOS 10.14.1.
