What is FaceTime audio on iPhone?

I have never used it but out of the blue today it notified me that some random number added me. What is it? How or why did they add me

Where did the notification come in from? Text messages/iMessage? It might be a spam message. I never heard of notifications for Facetime when a random person adds you.

Facetime Audio means Facetime without the Face. Pretty much works like Skype/Viber which uses data to send voice.

As to how or why they added you - I'm not sure. It is likely to be a spam message. Just delete the notification and if you get random calls from that number and you do not know the person, you can block the number.

Go to Settings - FaceTime - Scroll down to Blocked - Select New…

As to how someone added you… I'd look into that. Its possible it may be someone you know, but not a number you know them to have.

As far as what FaceTime audio is, its basically the same FaceTime, but audio only. So like a phone call, but it requires internet access.

  • Why does FaceTime Audio sound better with mute on? I ll FaceTime Audio call my girlfriend from my iPhone to hers at night. When it's quiet like if she falls asleep, I can hear her for a bit and every now and then it gets silent. It's not because she stops breathing it just happens. When I hit mute on my end though, I hear everything and the sound never drops even for a second. Why is it that with mute?
  • Other person can't hear audio on FaceTime? I was FaceTimeing my sister and she said she couldn't hear me, that my audio would cut out and then come back and repeat. I can hear her perfectly fine and the picture is good. She tried on her Mac and iPhone and they both didn't work.I'm on my iPod and I did a test on my camera and the audio was okay. I'm not covering the mic and I'm not on mute. I thought it was lagging too. Her Wi-Fi at school is not that good and she doesn't get good service out there.
  • My iPhone 4 having problems with audio when video taping? Ok so I have had this phone for 2 months now and it's just now having this issue. When I record sound and other things it's fine except when I record video on my phone this sound is barely audible. I mean you still hear it but barely. Also anything else where sound around me and my voice I can hear it fine. So what's wrong with it and what should I do about it?
