Can You Check Call Duration on an Ongoing Facetime Call?
No, you can’t check video Facetime calls ongoing time.
You can indeed check the duration of the call if we are talking about a Facetime audio call.
In that case, the call duration will appear on your iPhone screen in a little green bar in the corner.
Before iOS 13, it was possible to see this green progress bar that indicates the video call duration on Facetime.
But right after iOS 14, this isn’t possible anymore.
Logically, if you use iOS 14, your only alternative for checking a Facetime video call duration is doing so after the call ends.
Some say that this feature was removed on iOS 14 due to interface matters.
