After Apple customers upgrade to iOS 17 they are able to leave voice messages on video via FaceTime when they don’t get a response from the calls. This is how you can leave a FaceTime voicemail.
Video messages from FaceTime, also known as “facemails,” are a new feature that was introduced in iOS 17. If someone isn’t able to receive you on your FaceTime video chat, now you can send a message to them.
The recipient will be notified via email containing the message. This lets you communicate more clearly and ensures that the message will be appreciated even if your recipient was not present during the call.
How to leave FaceTime voicemails in iOS 17
- Initiate a FaceTime call with the individual to whom you intend to deliver a message. You can do this by opening FaceTime, tapping New FaceTime and entering a person’s phone number or selecting their contact, then selecting the FaceTime button at the bottom.
- Wait until you see “Contact Name Is Unavailable.”
- Tap on Record Video and record a message once the onscreen countdown timer is finished.
- After completing the video, you are presented with the choice to either Send it or Retake it.
After the video message is transmitted, the person receiving it will see it in the missed call log of their FaceTime application. There, they’ll be able to contact you straight away or copy the message to their photos.
The recording and sending of videos is simple and easy which makes it a possibility even for those who aren’t technologically adept. The possibility of retaking the video prior to sending it allows users the opportunity to make sure that they’re conveying precisely what they are looking for.
It’s also nice that you can save videos to be saved for later revisit within Photos. Photos app.
Overall the introduction of video messages in FaceTime on iOS 17 enhances the app’s capabilities and offers a more rich interactive user experience. It allows digital communications to be more personal and memorable.
FaceTime can be accessed to supported iOS mobile devices running iOS 4 or higher, and Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. It is compatible with iPhones and iPads with a front-facing camera as well as Mac computers that have the FaceTime Camera.
But, certain features like FaceTime voice messages will require a more recent operating system. For instance, the application’s page on the App Store states that the latest version of FaceTime operates on iOS as well as iPadOS 10.0 and up.
