How to use other apps during a FaceTime call on iPhone

by Stacey Butler

While you’re on a call using the FaceTime app, you can use other apps, for example, to look up information, write a note, or perform a calculation. The call keeps going, and you can get back to it at any time.

  1. Go to the Home Screen on your iPhone.
  2. Tap an app icon to open the app.
  3. To return to the FaceTime screen, tap the green bar (or the FaceTime icon) at the top of the screen.

While using another app, you can also share your screen with the other people in your FaceTime call.
