What’s new in FaceTime
>FaceTime’s new SharePlay enables you to share movies, music or your screen in a video chat with friends or family. You can all be watching or listening to the same thing at the same time, sharing the experience and adding your own commentary. Smart Volume will automatically adjust the audio levels so you can be heard during even the loudest scenes or sections, and you can connect via your iPad while watching on Apple TV or listening on your HomePod. It’s very clever and a lot of fun.
There’s more. You can now invite people who aren’t Apple users to use FaceTime in a web browser; Portrait Mode gives you the same good looks you’re used to from your iPhone’s portrait shooting; and Spatial Audio and Wide Spectrum Mode can improve the clarity of conversations and deliver better audio in larger spaces. FaceTime can quieten unwanted sounds such as lawnmowers or barking dogs, and Grid View gives you up to 20 people in the grid at a time so you can pretend you’re on Zoom.
