FaceTime with ability to include text

I have iPad and friend has iPhone.

i can speak and he cannot

is there a function, setting, app,..

that enables someone on iPhone to “FaceTime”,.. but include text/subtitles to communicate from their end to me?

that is.. I can speak within my FaceTime environment to him,.. and he can enter text from his FaceTime environment that I can read

thanx all...

Hello Tempist13,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you want to be able to send text through the FaceTime app itself. I'll explain.


You can only send audio and video through the FaceTime app. Sending text is only handles through the Messages app. There are no other settings or features that can control this. These links will provide what you can do with each of those apps to see which best fits your needs:


There might also be a third-party app that can help fit your needs. Search through the App Store: Download apps and games from the App Store


Best regards.
