How to Create and Send a FaceTime Video Message

iOS and iPadOS 17 introduced a valuable feature for users, allowing them to create and send a FaceTime video message if a call is unanswered. This user-friendly option provides seniors an easy way to communicate even when the recipient can't pick up, enhancing their connectivity. The simple process involves opening FaceTime, tapping "Record Video," and utilizing various features like stickers and filters to personalize messages. With a three-minute maximum duration, seniors can comfortably share their thoughts. Recipients receive notifications for missed FaceTime calls and video messages, offering a convenient way for seniors to stay in touch. Despite concerns, Apple's Communication Safety and Sensitive Content Warning adds an extra layer of protection, making this feature a great addition to FaceTime for seniors seeking seamless communication.

Thanks Ellen. Even I understand what you explained. What I really wanted to know is: can I answer to a FaceTime video by answering with another FaceTime video message?

Thank you Karin! I think you would need to create a new video.
