FaceTime, StandBy and Widgets

THERE’S ONE PARTICULAR feature that’s been requested for a while, and now it’s finally arriving. If you make a FaceTime call — audio or video — and the person on the other end doesn’t pick up, you can leave a voice or video message. The other person can then listen to or watch your message at their own convenience. It’s a great feature, especially for those who prefer free internet–based FaceTime calls instead of standard phone calls.
