iPhone 4 Features

FaceTime

Want to have a video chat with another iPhone 4 user? You can easily do that thanks to the FaceTime feature in iPhone 4. All you need to do is find your friend that you want to have a video chat with in the Contacts application, and tap on the FaceTime button to start a video call. If you’re already in a phone call with the person you want to have a video chat with, you can simply tap the FaceTime button on the iPhone 4 call screen. Your friend can either accept or deny the video call. FaceTime works in both portrait and landscape mode. You can also use either the front camera or the back camera of the iPhone 4 to have a video chat. It’s recommended that you use the front camera because the front camera has been fine tuned for FaceTime.
