Leaving Video Messages on FaceTime with iOS 17

In the latest iPhone software update, iOS 17, a new feature has been introduced that allows users to send a ‘video voicemail’ if the person they are trying to FaceTime does not pick up. This feature is particularly useful for those who want to leave a quick message for their contacts.

To leave a video message on FaceTime, follow these steps:

1. Open the FaceTime app on your iPhone.
2. Click on the contact you want to call.
3. If the person does not answer, an option will appear at the bottom of the screen.
4. Tap on the “Record Video” button, and wait for the on-screen countdown timer to reach zero.
5. Once the countdown is complete, tap on the green “Send” button to send the video message.

The recipient will be able to view the video message in their missed call log within the FaceTime app. They can choose to call you back, message you, or save the video.

This feature is a convenient way to leave a message for someone who is unable to answer your call. It allows you to express yourself and share your thoughts, even if they are not available to talk at the moment.
