Do I Need to Install FaceTime on My Windows Computer?
There is no FaceTime app for Windows computers, nor do you need one. On Windows, FaceTime can be run completely from within a web browser by clicking a chat invite link sent to you from someone participating with an Apple device. If you were just adding your Windows computer to the chat, you can now close the FaceTime app on your Apple device.
Is FaceTime for PC Safe?
Apple does promise end-to-end encryption for its FaceTime communications which increases your conversation’s privacy significantly. You can increase your security by making sure you have the latest version of Windows running on your computer and your browser is up-to-date. It’s also a good idea to only click FaceTime invite links you’re expecting. Email scammers may try to trick you into clicking malicious links by claiming they’re for a FaceTime chat when in reality, they’re for a fake website.
