According to foreign media CNBC reports, Apple said that the new generation of operating system iOS 12 for the iPhone and iPad this fall will not include FaceTime video group chat (Group FaceTime).
Apple first demonstrated the FaceTime hangout feature at the World Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. At the time, it detailed the new features of iOS 12. FaceTime Group Chat allowed up to 32 people to simultaneously video chat. This feature also supports Apple's Animoji animated emoticons, so users can attach different digital masks to their faces during a video chat.
FaceTime hangouts are one of the few major feature upgrades in iOS 12, and other upgrades are mainly incremental upgrades of some basic features, such as faster performance. Although FaceTime hangouts are already available on iOS Some early development versions of 12 were provided to developers for testing, but Apple has apparently decided that it is not ready for everyone to use.
A similar situation occurred when Apple first released the wireless streaming technology AirPlay 2. AirPlay 2 was originally planned to be launched on iOS 11 last year, but it was not officially launched until June of this year. 'FaceTime group function does not start with iOS 12 Removed from the public version, will be released with future software updates later this fall. 'Apple said in the latest developer version of the system. Apple will usually launch the new iPhone model in September, officially Launched a new version of iOS.
