FaceTime on Android devices, how it works?

With the release of iOS 15, Apple is now allowing Android users to join FaceTime sessions. In order to do so, an Apple user needs to create an invitation link and send it to an Android user, who will then join the session using the link. It will be a useful feature as it will enable cross-platform communication without using any third-party application with potential privacy risks and other security concerns. To join a FaceTime session from an Android device, follow the steps given below.

• An Apple user needs to create an invitation link and send it to the Android user via mail, message or any other platform
• On receiving the link, the Android user needs to access the link in the Chrome browser
• On entering the link in Google Chrome, a prompt asking the name of the user trying to enter in the FaceTime session
• Enter the name and tap on 'Continue'
• A floating pop-up will appear upon the screen with a green button to join in the FaceTime session
• Once the Android user clicks on the join button, the FaceTime host on the Apple device gets a request, which he or she needs to accept 
• Upon accepting the entry request, the Android user comes into the FaceTime session
• Once both the users enter into the video call, the Android user will experience a FaceTime session, along with the native controls such as mute, flip screen, show/hide camera, full screen, ending the call and more.
