How to Make a FaceTime Call With Siri

by

ios12 facetime iconIf you're a frequent user of FaceTime, you may have relocated the ‌FaceTime‌ app to your main Home screen for convenience. Or perhaps you've set up the Phone app widget for quick-access to your favorite ‌FaceTime‌ contacts.

Alternatively, you could always use your voice to make a ‌FaceTime‌ call using Apple's Siri virtual assistant. It really couldn't be easier – the following steps show you how it's done.

  1. Press and hold the Side button (or the Home button on older iPhones), or say "Hey Siri" to activate ‌Siri‌.

Once your command is parsed by ‌Siri‌, all you have to do is wait for the ‌FaceTime‌ call to connect.
