There may not have been so many video calls or video conferences since the beginning of the arrest. The boom in teleworking, though pressed, and the need to communicate with family, resulting in the use of any successful video call app. Whether it's work or you want to feel closer, this period of incarceration has sometimes encouraged many to identify with their devices.
Google has Hangouts and Meetings, other apps like JitSi, Zoom or back in front of Skype, who is experienced in these issues. FaceTime, Apple's own service, has also been widely used, but apparently among users of the so-called Apple ecosystem, it even breaks some records. What if the program was a standard? That was Steve Jobs' idea? Are there any plans for the future?

FaceTime, pity it only exists on Apple
The popular video call system was introduced by Steve Jobs in a key area of 2010 where we had the opportunity to know what the iPhone 4 looks like. make audio and video calls among Apple users, because we can drive from iPhone to iPod or iPad or Mac to any of their combinations.
Steve Jobs himself thought that the app would eventually become the norm and that it could be launched on any platform, such as Android. But the fact is that 10 years later, only Californian brand users have the opportunity to use it. To talk to someone using Android or Windows, we should install another third-party app. And now, there is no sign that things will start to change and that they will be developed on other platforms.
I've always seen SpaceTime as a very interesting app. It is true that it offers nothing unique to any, and that there is often little use. The same thing happens with iMessage. How many Apple users are using it in their contacts? I'm starting to say that there are always a few. WhatsApp, and the Telegraph to a lesser extent, have taken over existing market dynamics, while iMessage is an excellent communication tool. In my case, when I knew someone in my area was using Apple, I contacted them through iMessage. However, it's frustrating to see that so many of my messages have been left unread. It can send them WhatsApp and I get an immediate response. Sad but true.
Benefits of FaceTime and iMessage
Of course, none of these tools have something to make them stand out from their competitors. Maybe iMessage has the power of Animojis, which comes with iOS 11, and works well with other apps. But without the beauty and practical side we only know heavy product, what is certain is that when we use these systems, we provide a move forward with regard to security and privacy. Apple is aware of this and is giving its communication tools ciphers extravagance that is extremely difficult to break, at least not as easy as WhatsApp.
If FaceTime and iMessage were applications that could be used on other platforms, perhaps they could be a new dream, they would attract more people to the Apple environment, and we could benefit from that additional protection that Apple is able to offer. Faced with unprecedented moments in social media, it may be time for Apple to surprise and be able to allow the development of these apps to third parties. Are we facing a chimera or what Job thinks was a success?
Frankly, FaceTime and iMessage, this to a great extent, are there big forgot Apple users. Various versions of iOS are on the horizon, and only the icons of these apps have changed, I can say that there are many users who have moved from iPhone to another without having to press those features completely. So it's time to think about taking better these traditional apps with us. It may be best to at least open it occasionally.
