    Group facetime is awesome!

    I just tried it out and really love it! Wow, this is going to be a really awesome feature. Don't really need google hangouts or facebook messenger anymore to have group calls.

    2018 Macbook Pro Camera Quality

    I have noticed the picture quality on the facetime camera appears significantly more grainy and washed out on my 15 inch 2018 MBP compared with my 2015 13 inch MBP and my partners 2017 air.

    This method: "Open up FaceTime and tap on the info button next to the contact you want to block, or enter a number in the text bar at the top.

    For those with the X, have you noticed that certain websites perform a FaceID scan for no apparent reason? I understand when confronted with a login screen why it would do a scan, but I’m starting to see it even when there is no prompt for a login or even if I’ve already logged in to a site...
