VIDEO CHATTING WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES

Do your FaceTime with your grandchildren? Would you like to? Would you like to never miss a call? Many use Skype but that is usually only available when on your computer.
 

Are you aware there are many other options, especially for those who don't all use I-Phones?

Apple's FaceTime only works if both you and your friend/relative have I-Phones.
 
Skype has an app that you can download to your both an IPhone and an Android phone. (Android is anything other than an Apple phone) To use Skype you both need to set up Skype accounts with an ID and those you plan to video chat with must do the same. Skype has made some major changes lately and even for those who are used to using it, its become confusing!

Google has a Duo app which allows face-to-face video conversations between any combo of iPhone and Android. It has a feature called Knock Knock.

Our family uses a program called "What's App" which is a free download. It's relatively new in Canada but has been extremely popular in Europe for years.
It's a messaging program but one that can also be used to phone someone or video chat with them and you can send photos and videos that may be too large to be sent via email.

FaceBook also now offers ways to contact others but I am not sure how safe it is at this time. As far as I am aware you can only do a video call and to do this - go to the person's home page and look to the right of their cover photo, right of Message tab are some dots.... click on this and look down the list to where it says "Video call".

Hope this information may be of use to some of you!
Have a wonderful weekend.
