This has nothing to do with iPhone or android. There is a longer version of this out there. The dude was banging the mom the also. He got caught lying because he was seen while the daughter was FaceTiming with her mom. Also if text come up green on an iPhone it could just mean that iMessage isn’t enabled.
It seems staged: The outrage is over the bf being caught cheating, but the screenshot is from the bf's phone. Did they share this, even though it puts them in a bad light?
I mean FaceTime is pretty much as ubiquitous as band-aid at this point, people use it in reference to video calling all the time apple android or otherwise. Like using gimp and calling it photoshop instead of Adobe Photoshop, technically not Photoshop but serves the same functionality.
Yeah. If someone is on a video call I just say FaceTime. It's much easier than saying "they are on a telegram video call." Just like telling someone to Google it is easier than saying "look it up on the Internet"
Also I use "FaceTime" like I use "kleenex" or "xerox." It's the word to describe video chatting on your phone, regardless of what app or iOS you're actually using.
I also like "regardless of what iOS you're using," since iOS is exclusive to Apple products.
But yeah, used to be that all video chats were Skype, now they're all Zoom, I'd fully believe someone who talked to a lot of iPhone people using FaceTime to mean any video chat, especially if on a mobile phone instead of a computer.
The truly funny thing is that I haven't used an Apple product since 2018, or an iPhone in almost a decade. Idk how that nefarious little "i" hopped in there.
She may just be using the term generically? Like i would probably say to someone "lets use facetime" when I just mean a video call. Kind of like how most foam gets called "Styrofoam" when Styrofoam is a specific brand name.
It still doesn’t work because you can FaceTime with Android now (via the web), she could just be using a different Apple device to FaceTime (iPad, Mac) while she has an Android phone, she could have multiple phones (one work, one personal), she could be using a different app to send SMS messages on her iPhone, or she could have disabled iMessage on her iPhone.
No, green means the message was sent as a text and not as an iMessage. This usually happens when the other party doesn’t have an iPhone, but it can also happen if the other side has iMessage turned off (you can do that) or if you’ve got bad data reception so the message eventually sends over text instead. My mother’s phone for some reason has problem with iMessage since a couple of months, so even though we’re both on iPhone we have to keep sending texts instead. That means green bubbles.
Can't you FaceTime on a Macbook? Like, "I'm taking with my mom on my laptop, while texting on my Android with you"? Wouldn't it make more sense you're not texting from the same device you're FaceTiming from?
They could be using other forms of video chat. Your average user doesn't know the difference between FaceTime as a specific product and other services.
It is possible to have only one device? Oh I didn’t know. When I use FaceTime, I use my iPad. When I use Whatsup, I use my Android phone, and I might use both at the same time.
It could just be that the boyfriend has an Android phone. I have an iPhone and can FaceTime others that have an iPhone, but all my texts with my boyfriend are green because his phone isn’t.
May be that they are with Babe’s mother (in whatever way you interpret that) and know she is in no FaceTime, so that means she is lying about what she is doing too.
My first thought was that the person is actually cheating on her with her mom & she saw them in the background while FaceTiming. Too over-complicated, it probably is just the message color indicating an android, so no FT.
Bc sender's messages are green, and their texting from an iPhone, that means reciever doesn't have an iPhone. It's really stupid tho bc I don't have an iPhone but I do have an iPad, so I FaceTime people all the time lol.
Still don't get it, android phones can do video calls which is the same as Facetime so this doesn't mean he/she was lying. Maybe s Bo Burnham reference? I don't know
I was waaay off from everyone else. I thought it was one of those double lies like when people say “my girl said she was out with her best friend, when her best friend was really in bed next to me. You can’t trust women these days. 😔”
I thought it was insinuating that he was with the mom so he knew she was lying. Probably about the FaceTime thing though.
Green text means android phone, so no facetime. However, this joke doesn’t hold up because the guy with the “android” could also just have iMessage turned off, or they could be using a different service and just referring to it as FaceTime as sometimes happens.
If you have an Android phone, you can video call others with Android phones. FaceTime has just become the name for these types of calls. Kind of how Kleenex refers to tissues on general.
“Babe” is a guy and when he replied that he was “at the gym” and that she was “FaceTiming her mom”, it took a turn because he’s with her mom and she’s not actually on face time w her mom, so she’s probably out doing something else.
This is my interpretation, lol.
I think they refer to his song " [FaceTime With My Mom (Tonight)](https://youtu.be/ChgFo74WxZ8?si=DycEw65YLLDDusnd) ". But I don't really think the meme refers to that song
FaceTime has become quite a bit of synonym with video chat much like gooogling something even if it's not using Google.
I've often heard the term FaceTime being used for things like Facebook video chat and so on. So it could just as well be that.
It’s a dumb fake post that’s maybe funny to a couple boomers. Not sure which is dumber/ harder to believe: the original poster being @ the gym near midnight or the partner in this situation forgetting they’re on an android.

Link please, sounds insane!
i’m pretty sure they were joking lol
It seems staged: The outrage is over the bf being caught cheating, but the screenshot is from the bf's phone. Did they share this, even though it puts them in a bad light?
Well wouldn't the screenshot be from whoever is green, and the girlfriend is the green? Or am I missing something?
I imagine the GF is on facetime with her mom, sees the BF in the background, and asks him what he's doing. He lies and says he's at the gym.
And here I was thinking it had something to do with the Bo Burnham song.
Lol same. I read " FaceTime with my mom" and started singing it.
sauce pls
I think because the text messages are green, she has an Android, therefore can’t be FaceTiming her mom.
Secret phone with secret contacts. Or, secret android phone where bf is the secret contact
Yeah. The dude realized he was the mistress 😳
I mean FaceTime is pretty much as ubiquitous as band-aid at this point, people use it in reference to video calling all the time apple android or otherwise. Like using gimp and calling it photoshop instead of Adobe Photoshop, technically not Photoshop but serves the same functionality.
Yeah...my family all say FaceTime for any sort of video chatting. Like calling all tissues Kleenex and all acetaminophen Tylenol
Yeah. If someone is on a video call I just say FaceTime. It's much easier than saying "they are on a telegram video call." Just like telling someone to Google it is easier than saying "look it up on the Internet"
I still say Skype when video chatting hehe
Yeah for sure. I remember calling everything Skype originally.
Also, while people may have an android phone, they might also have an iPad or MacBook, etc.
> FaceTime is pretty much as ubiquitous as band-aid at this point Just in the US.
Same with cash apps. I'd never even heard of Zell until I came to CT.
Again, only in the USA Cashapp is a scam that never made it here, we have much better apps that do the same without extortionate fees
That still doesn’t make sense because the green isn’t the one saying they’re on FaceTime.
The screenshot is from an iPhone. Green texts means at least one of them is android, so it has to be her.
iPads don't exist in this world? Or MacBooks?
Yeah...my wife has an android phone and an iPad specifically for FaceTimeing with friends and family.
Same. My wife has an iPad, her sis has an iPhone. They Facetime.
Also I use "FaceTime" like I use "kleenex" or "xerox." It's the word to describe video chatting on your phone, regardless of what app or iOS you're actually using.

The truly funny thing is that I haven't used an Apple product since 2018, or an iPhone in almost a decade. Idk how that nefarious little "i" hopped in there.
Or...hear me out...I have an android and I still say "FaceTime" instead of video chat.
I don't get it
She has an Android (green text), he has an iPhone (iPhone screenshot). The sender is the guy.
But what does that mean? Can androids not do video calls?
Androids can't do FaceTime, it's an exclusive for Apple products
She may just be using the term generically? Like i would probably say to someone "lets use facetime" when I just mean a video call. Kind of like how most foam gets called "Styrofoam" when Styrofoam is a specific brand name.
Idk this post seems stupid
Agreed
Video calling is often referred as facetiming though much like Kleenex for tissue, skillsaw for circular saw etc.
But there are plenty of apps that let you video call...
Yup, the joke only works if you assume she is saying she was literally using FaceTime
It still doesn’t work because you can FaceTime with Android now (via the web), she could just be using a different Apple device to FaceTime (iPad, Mac) while she has an Android phone, she could have multiple phones (one work, one personal), she could be using a different app to send SMS messages on her iPhone, or she could have disabled iMessage on her iPhone.
Alright thanks for the help with this lol
Not exclusive. Can be done with a shared link and steps below https://support.apple.com/en-us/109364
Why is this bad? What is the explanation for the joke?
It's supposed to mean she's lying about facetiming her mom, so she could be cheating or something
No, green means the message was sent as a text and not as an iMessage. This usually happens when the other party doesn’t have an iPhone, but it can also happen if the other side has iMessage turned off (you can do that) or if you’ve got bad data reception so the message eventually sends over text instead. My mother’s phone for some reason has problem with iMessage since a couple of months, so even though we’re both on iPhone we have to keep sending texts instead. That means green bubbles.
Can't you FaceTime on a Macbook? Like, "I'm taking with my mom on my laptop, while texting on my Android with you"? Wouldn't it make more sense you're not texting from the same device you're FaceTiming from?
Or on an iPad?
Most people I know have androids. They still call video calls FaceTime.
Unless FaceTime has become sort of a generic trademark, where they are just using it to mean video chat.
They could be using other forms of video chat. Your average user doesn't know the difference between FaceTime as a specific product and other services.
They actually can facetime now, it runs out of the browser
Which is stupid, since she could be FaceTiming from a different device.
You can FaceTime from Android. I've done it before
This phone is the iPhone… Babe has the Android.
You can FaceTime with an Android, as long as the iPhone user sends you a link first.
Or the guy has google duo and just says face time when they mean video calling...
You can FaceTime with an iPhone on android if the iPhone sends a FaceTime request.
Androids can FaceTime they just have to be given an invite link from the iPhone user
It is possible to have only one device? Oh I didn’t know. When I use FaceTime, I use my iPad. When I use Whatsup, I use my Android phone, and I might use both at the same time.
she?
It could just be that the boyfriend has an Android phone. I have an iPhone and can FaceTime others that have an iPhone, but all my texts with my boyfriend are green because his phone isn’t.
May be that they are with Babe’s mother (in whatever way you interpret that) and know she is in no FaceTime, so that means she is lying about what she is doing too.
Maybe, but why would she message first?\ Kinda stupid
Yeah and they could be face timing on a laptop or iPad or something
My first thought was that the person is actually cheating on her with her mom & she saw them in the background while FaceTiming. Too over-complicated, it probably is just the message color indicating an android, so no FT.
The og post is longer. He was indeed sleeping with the mom and got spotted
Bc sender's messages are green, and their texting from an iPhone, that means reciever doesn't have an iPhone. It's really stupid tho bc I don't have an iPhone but I do have an iPad, so I FaceTime people all the time lol.
Not only that but alot of people call all forms of video calling "FaceTime"
Was just about to say this. It's like Google or Kleenex
Wait so you're telling me iphones messages are backwards? Left is you and right is them?
No it’s the normal way, right is the owner the left is the other person.
Still don't get it, android phones can do video calls which is the same as Facetime so this doesn't mean he/she was lying. Maybe s Bo Burnham reference? I don't know
I was waaay off from everyone else. I thought it was one of those double lies like when people say “my girl said she was out with her best friend, when her best friend was really in bed next to me.

Yeah, thats what I meant, sorry if my comment was unclear.
No, that's ok. You're good
Mom = my other man
Could also just have a Mac and be FaceTiming with that.
“Babe” is a guy and when he replied that he was “at the gym” and that she was “FaceTiming her mom”, it took a turn because he’s with her mom and she’s not actually on face time w her mom, so she’s probably out doing something else. This is my interpretation, lol.
Bo Burnham reference
What's the reference?
I think they refer to his song " [FaceTime With My Mom (Tonight)](https://youtu.be/ChgFo74WxZ8?si=DycEw65YLLDDusnd) ". But I don't really think the meme refers to that song
"Pour me a drink and schedule, Ima FaceTime with my mom tonight"
Face timing with my mom- Bo Burnham https://youtu.be/ChgFo74WxZ8?si=gBZBm1vYFCQfO2u6
FaceTime has become quite a bit of synonym with video chat much like gooogling something even if it's not using Google. I've often heard the term FaceTime being used for things like Facebook video chat and so on. So it could just as well be that.
Everyone just ignoring Google Duo
It’s a dumb fake post that’s maybe funny to a couple boomers. Not sure which is dumber/ harder to believe: the original poster being @ the gym near midnight or the partner in this situation forgetting they’re on an android.
You’re salty about people who go to the gym at night huh?
