Cross-Platform Messaging: FaceTime on Android, WhatsApp, Signal, and More

In this episode of Android Unmuted, we explore cross-platform messaging apps that connect iOS and Android users effortlessly. From initiating FaceTime calls on Android to secure messaging options, here's what we cover:

Topics Discussed:

• FaceTime on Android: Learn how to join a FaceTime video chat from an Android device using a link created on iOS. We dive into the setup process, browser experience, and tips for navigating permissions and controls.

• WhatsApp: A popular choice for its universal availability across platforms and devices. While it's not ideal for security-conscious users due to Meta ownership, it offers encrypted one-on-one messaging, group chats, audio, and video calls.

• Google Meet: A versatile option for cross-platform video calls. We discuss setup tips, syncing contacts, and the convenience of using Meet on both Android and iOS.

• Signal: A favorite for privacy-focused users, offering encrypted messaging for groups and individuals. It supports audio and video calls but lacks SMS integration, so you'll need a separate solution for that.
