How to answer a FaceTime call on an iPhone
A FaceTime call rings like a phone call. How you answer depends on whether the phone was locked.
- 1When the phone rings, look at the screen.
- 2If you see a green button, tap the green button.
- 3If you see a slider instead, put your finger on it and slide it all the way to the right.
- 4Hold the phone in front of your face so they can see you.
- 5To hang up, tap the red button.
If it doesn’t look like this
If the buttons have disappeared during the call, tap the screen once and they come back.
