How do I make video calls using FaceTime with contacts that do not have an iPhone?

A new feature of iOS 15 allows you to invite anyone to join you in a FaceTime call, even contacts who don’t have an iPhone. They can join you for one-on-one and Group FaceTime calls right from their browser instantly.

To make a FaceTime call, follow these steps:

1. From the main screen, tap the "FaceTime" icon.
   • Note: If this your first time using "FaceTime," follow the instructions on the screen to access the application.
2. Tap the "New FaceTime" icon.
   • Note: To invite contacts who do not have an iPhone to join the FaceTime call, you can also tap the "Create Link" icon and follow the prompts on your screen.
3. Enter the phone number or the email address of the person you would like to call in the "To" field. Then, press the "return" key.
   • Note: If the recipient's phone number or email address is blue, they have FaceTime. If it's green, a FaceTime Link will be sent to them.
4. Tap the "Invite with Messages" icon.
5. If necessary, enter an additional message. Then, tap the "Send" icon.
   • Note: You will be prompted that "Anytime someone joins FaceTime from a link, they will be able to see your caller ID." Tap "OK" to continue.
6. Once the contact clicks the FaceTime invite link in their messages, they will be prompted to enter their name and tap "Continue." Then, they will need to tap "Join."
7. After they have joined, tap the "check mark" icon to accept them into the FaceTime call.
8. To end the FaceTime call, tap "Leave."
