Apple please make FaceTime how it used to be
This is honestly the most annoying app to even have on your phone. Why did Apple think that this was a good idea to separate the Phone app and the FaceTime app when they function the same. The FaceTime app isn’t even better there’s nothing you can do on the FaceTime app other than FaceTime which u could have easily done with a button in the Contact tab. On top of all of it you don’t even know the exact time that a person saved in your contact calls you, but not an unsaved number that called you, all they tell you is the day you were called. The only time u know exactly when someone called you is if there an unsaved contact and it’s been almost a month from the current day you’re checking. The only way you know exactly when one of your saved contacts called you is, you guessed it, when you check your PHONE app. Apple please fix this.Love it! But one problem…
FaceTime is a great way to call your friends and also see them at the same time whenever you’re in different places. It helps me a lot so that I can see their faces especially when they’re on trips or somewhere else and I wish I was hanging out with them. The only problem that I find is that every now and then it’ll glitch and it will force me to end the call and call right back. If it was not as glitchy, then we would have easier ways so we wouldn’t have to keep on recalling each other because of the problem that it’ll pause and show a notification signal. I don’t know for sure, but I think this happens to everyone. if it’s just my iPad, I would like some feedback. but I personally think that I’m not the only one. thank you!SMH 🤦🏻♀️
2024-Jul-15 UPDATE: With every new software update, the quality of the apps are steadily decreasing. eg. Siri used to understand the shortcuts’ voice commands but now a simple task for Siri to make a FaceTime Audio call to a contact that has only ONE phone number stored brings up a Prompt Screen asking to confirm if user indeed wants to call the only number stored under this contact name. Is technology truly advancing with such obvious declining intelligence?!
What’s the point of setting up Siri to perform some common tasks, such as making calls if the process requires more time and excessive follow up actions? Beats the purpose of using voice, might as well revert back to traditional Nokia era and manually press some buttons for quicker results!!
I initially gave 3 stars in first review but now I must minus another star for poor integration between the app & phone.
INITIAL REVIEW: FaceTime was one of the reasons my whole family chose APPLE phones. This sudden change is a shock and gives off a 'silence before the storm' vibes. So many settings are now screwed up and no longer working. Is this going to be the worst chang in Apple's history? If not for my liking the app, this review would've been given just 1 star for pushing through this frustrating change!
