FaceTime at a glance

Use FaceTime to make video or audio calls to other iOS devices or computers that support FaceTime. The FaceTime camera lets you talk face-to-face; switch to the rear iSight camera (not available on all models) to share what you see around you.

Note: FaceTime may not be available in all areas.

The FaceTime screen showing a call in progress and the caller's face filling most of the screen. Your image is in the upper right. Across the bottom, from left to right, are the Switch Camera, End, and Mute buttons.

With a Wi-Fi connection and an Apple ID, you can make and receive FaceTime calls (first sign in using your Apple ID, or create a new account). On iPhone 4s or later, you can also make FaceTime calls over a cellular data connection, which may incur additional charges. To turn off this feature, go to Settings > Cellular.
