Coming to Android and Windows' data-article-id='5689'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

FaceTime, the live video service often used to connect family members and friends.</span> <span data-start-time='13250' data-end-time='26438'>Currently, FaceTime can only be used by people using Macs, iPhones or other devices running Apple’s iOS operating system. </span> <span data-start-time='26438' data-end-time='31625'>But Apple announced this week that is about to change.</span> <span data-start-time='31625' data-end-time='45208'>In the near future, FaceTime will be available for Android device users, as well as for computer users on the Windows operating system. </span> <span data-start-time='45208' data-end-time='51438'>Apple announced the news during its yearly Developers Conference.</span> <span data-start-time='51438' data-end-time='60021'>The change will come with the release of Apple’s latest iOS 15 version. </span> <span data-start-time='60021' data-end-time='73083'>Apple says iOS 15 will first be launched in beta testing next month and will become available to all users in the autumn.</span> <span data-start-time='73083' data-end-time='86146'>Since the service will remain an Apple-only product, FaceTime calls will have to be started by someone using a Mac or iOS device.</span> <span data-start-time='86146' data-end-time='93188'>An Apple user can create a special internet link in the FaceTime app.</span> <span data-start-time='93188' data-end-time='104000'>This web link can then be shared with Android device users or people using Windows-based PCs.</span> <span data-start-time='104000' data-end-time='111458'>Links can be sent out by email, text message, messenger apps or social media.</span> <span data-start-time='111458' data-end-time='121250'>The non-Apple users can then use the link to join the call through their device’s internet browser. </span> <span data-start-time='121250' data-end-time='132792'>When used in this way, the FaceTime service works similarly to the widely-used video conferencing tool Zoom.</span> <span data-start-time='132792' data-end-time='150146'>This new ability to create links also makes it easier for all FaceTime users to set specific call times and invite multiple people to join meetings ahead of time.</span> <span data-start-time='150146' data-end-time='160458'>Apple says that all FaceTime communication -- even on the internet -- is encrypted “end-to-end.” </span> <span data-start-time='160458' data-end-time='176375'>This kind of encryption is designed to protect messages and other content from being seen or saved by third parties when it is passed between device users.</span> <span data-start-time='176375' data-end-time='189042'>The FaceTime changes come as video conferencing services saw a huge rise in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic. </span> <span data-start-time='189042' data-end-time='200563'>More people have turned to the services to stay connected while working from home and taking part in online learning.</span> </p></div><div
