FaceTime for iOS 12 and macOS Mojave will support up to 32 callers

Along with all the updates we had yesterday from Apple to iOS 12, FaceTime made a somewhat unexpected appearance on stage, with probably some of the services biggest new features added today since it was launched in 2010 with the iPhone 4 and iOS 4. FaceTime now for the first time supports multiple users, but up to 32 simultaneous callers in the same FaceTime chat, even Apple Watch users can join in, but only via audio.

FaceTime calls can also be a bit more fun, as stickers, Animoji and Memoji from Messages can be used to overlay the video. Guests can even join mid call though video or audio. All the new FaceTime features will be available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac and as mentioned above, the Apple Watch too.

iOS 12 is expected to launch later this year
