All iPhone users have been enjoying easy video calling through Apple’s FaceTime feature for many years. FaceTime is built directly into the iPhone dialer. The good part is that now Android users will also be able to enjoy a similar experience with this integration of video calling into the phone app. The new feature is in the form of a simple “Video call” chip.
