There is a little less left for the WWDC of this year 2017 (do not take away our hope), where we will see the news of iOS 11, the operating system that will improve if possible the current one of our mobile devices. However, it seems that there is less and less room to innovate, and nothing indicates that we are going to experience a considerable design change as will happen with iOS 7. However, functionalities can be expanded, and that is according to rumors with the arrival of iOS 11 we can enjoy group calls via FaceTime, which would improve this video conferencing system that already works quite well.
- The Verifier, an Israeli technology portal, has been in charge of revealing this rumor, although little or nothing has been said as far as its source is concerned, in the report they are limited to citing a person involved in the development of iOS who is part of the equipment that Apple has in Israel.
The way they will add this feature might be the surprising thing. As you well know, Messenger from Facebook and WhatsApp (also from Facebook), include video calls despite being an instant messaging application. Well, it seems that this is what Apple intends, include the video calling system within the Messages application that our device has factory installed. In this way perhaps we can also get rid of another icon, the FaceTime.
Group FaceTime calls will be in the eye of the hurricane from here until June. We take this opportunity to remember a fantastic chapter of Modern Family, in which we can appreciate many FaceTime features (some simulated), humorously.
Nonetheless, FaceTime is honestly one of the best factory installed apps on iOS as it is the most stable and efficient VoIP calling and video conferencing system that we can use.
Honestly they should have included it since iOS 7, and if not at least in iOS 9 have updated the app ...
