To FaceTime someone for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the person you wish to FaceTime has an Apple device that is compatible with FaceTime, such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
2. Open the FaceTime app on your Apple device, which should be running iOS 16 or later.
3. Type in the name or phone number of the person you want to call in the search bar at the top of the screen.
4. Tap the video icon to initiate a FaceTime call. If the person you are calling has an iPhone, the call will ring through as a FaceTime call. If they have an iPad or Mac, it will ring as a regular call, but you can tap the FaceTime icon in the call window to switch to FaceTime.
5. Wait for the person to answer the call, and then start your conversation.
Remember to make sure that you have a stable internet connection before initiating the call. FaceTime also allows you to chat via video or audio, so make sure to choose the right option depending on your preference.
