Facetime

What app do I need if I wanted to FaceTime someone who has a Samsung phone? It’s my parents who I want to FaceTime with. But, they have a Samsung and I have an Apple iPhone. They are in their Late 70’s and live out of state from me. It would be nice to be able to see them by FaceTime of some sort that we both can use. And No, they don’t hav Facebook either! They are pretty much old school except my dad has tried to keep up with technology the best he can. My mom, NOT SO MUCH! Lol!! Is Skype still an option?


Ready for some ideas my friends!! And my Parents thank you too in advance!!❤️

iPad 2, iOS 9

Hey!


Unfortunately unless they have an Apple device you cannot facetime them


There are several options for video chat that is supported on both iOS and Android


Some examples:

Skype

Zoom

Facebook messenger

Whatsapp

Snapchat


There are probably many more, this was just from the top of my head.


They might need help setting it up on their end though


Good luck!
