Apart from iTunes and QuickTime Player, no other Apple software is currently available on operating systems that aren’t Mac OS or iOS. The sad truth of this state of affairs is that it is not possible, and is not likely to become possible without some serious shakeup in Apple’s proprietary software practices. However, what non-iOS users are clamoring for practically more than anything else is access to FaceTime from non-Apple devices. Skype, after all, had long been the gold-standard for video, voice, and text conferencing between any number of people at the same time, and in spite of Apple’s takeover of smartphone and tablet-based video calling, it’s still widely turned to by businesses, professionals, and individuals. WhatsApp Messenger will be getting the feature live sometime in 2016, while Facebook, imo Messenger, and even Snapchat all now support video calling.Īpple was hardly the first to realize that such opportunities were possible with our current levels of technology. Ever since Apple introduced it, video calling–a phone call that offers a real-time view of your contacts’ faces as you speak to them, by way of a smartphone camera–has become the new standard for communications apps. It’s hard not to see FaceTime’s influence springing up in all of its competitors’ more recent innovations. We’ll answer that very apt question, as well as others, in the article below.
The fact that it was available as a free download on iOS made it an even more compelling app, and now, users on other platforms are wondering if they have any avenue or option to run FaceTime on other platforms, such as Windows 10. When Apple introduced its popular video calling app, “FaceTime,” to iOS, it was a runaway hit that immediately forced competing messaging and calling apps to play catch-up.
