Apple’s iOS 17 brought a number of new features, including the option to leave video messages on FaceTime. While younger generations typically fear hearing their phones ring and seeing that someone has left a voicemail, Apple’s new version of video could be a hit. Now, when you call someone on FaceTime, if there is no answer you will have the option to record and send a video message. Please note: Both you and your recipient must be running iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 to send and receive FaceTime video messages.
Step by step: How to send a FaceTime video message
Step 1: Go to the FaceTime app
Leave a video message via Face to face It’s pretty simple. All you have to do is start a FaceTime call as you normally would. This can be done in several ways, but the easiest way would be to go to FaceTime app.
Step 2: Start the FaceTime call
Once in the app, tap the New FaceTime Select the contact you are trying to contact, and then tap Face to face in the background. If he doesn’t answer, you’ll see “(Contact) is not available” and you will be presented with two options. You can call them again or press Record a video to do precisely that.
Step 3: Tap on Record Video option
Select Record a video and get ready to fire your shot. You will see a countdown on the screen and then you can record your message.
Step 4: Send your video message
Once you’re done saying what you need to say, you can send it by tapping Sendwhich looks like a white button circle with a green arrow inside, or you can select Retake.
Apple has also included a Save option, which means you can save the video message you just recorded directly to your Camera Roll. Or if you prefer not to send any messages, simply press Cancel.
But if you continue sending your video message, the recipient will be able to see it in the missed call log within their FaceTime app. Once there, they will have the option to call you back, view the video message, or save it to their Camera Roll.
