Apple today said its FaceTime video chat app will support multi-person chats. It can handle between two and 32 people at a single time. FaceTime is now integrated into iMessage, allowing people to move from a group chat to a group video chat east. Members can drop out of group FaceTime chats any time. People speaking are automatically given visual prominence in the windows. Apple says fun features, such as Animoji, Memoji, stickers, and more will be available within the new FaceTime. It works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and supports audio in Apple Watch. This feature will arrive with iOS 12 later this year.
