your friend, but you can’t see each other. To return to the video, tap the green bar at the top of

Juggle calls. FaceTime calls aren’t forwarded. If another call comes in while you’re on a FaceTime
call, you can either end the FaceTime call and answer the incoming call, decline the incoming
call, or reply with a text message. You can use call waiting with FaceTime audio calls only.
Use call waiting for audio calls. If you’re on a FaceTime audio call and another call comes in, you
can decline the call, end the first call and accept the new one, or put the first call on hold and
respond to the new call.
Add multiple callers. While on a FaceTime audio call, you can add another person to the
conversation. Put the first call on hold, then tap to add another FaceTime audio call.
Block unwanted callers. Go to Settings > FaceTime > Blocked > Add New. You won’t receive
FaceTime calls or text messages from blocked callers. For more information about blocking calls,

Other options in Settings let you turn FaceTime on or off, specify a phone number, Apple ID, or
email address to use with FaceTime, and set your caller ID.
