Android Unmuted: Cross-Platform Messaging!

Episode Title: Cross-Platform Messaging: FaceTime on Android, WhatsApp, Signal, and More Show Notes: In this episode of Android Unmuted, we explore cross-platform messaging apps that connect iOS and Android users effortlessly. From initiating FaceTime calls on Android to secure messaging options, here's what we cover: <h4>Topics Discussed:</h4> FaceTime on Android: Learn how to join a FaceTime video chat from an Android device using a link created on iOS. We dive into the setup process, browser experience, and tips for navigating permissions and controls. WhatsApp: A popular choice for its universal availability across platforms and devices. While it's not ideal for security-conscious users due to Meta ownership, it offers encrypted one-on-one messaging, group chats, audio, and video calls. Google Meet: A versatile option for cross-platform video calls. We discuss setup tips, syncing contacts, and the convenience of using Meet on both Android and iOS. Signal: A favorite for privacy-focused users, offering encrypted messaging for groups and individuals. It supports audio and video calls but lacks SMS integration, so you'll need a separate solution for that. <h4>Listener Call to Action:</h4> Have a favorite messaging app or a suggestion we missed?
