If you have an iPhone, iPad or MacBook, then you might have used FaceTime, Apple’s built-in video and voice-calling app. It’s now possible to have a group chat of up to 32 people on a FaceTime call, provided that your friends own an Apple device. If you haven’t used FaceTime before, or need a refresher, here are some steps to get started and join a Group FaceTime chat on your iPhone, iPad and MacBook.

FaceTime on iPhone & iPad

Open the FaceTime app
Click the + icon (without a circle around it) in the top-right corner
Type to search names or numbers of the people you’d like to talk to. If they’re in your contact list, their names will come up as you type, and you can click on each name to add them to the call.
You can also click on the circle with a + inside it to open up your contacts list and select people there. Tap their name to open up the contact then tap their number to add them.
Tap the green video button to start a video call or the audio button to start an audio call

FaceTime on MacBook
