Apple yanks Group FaceTime from iOS 12, macOS Mojave developer betas, states feature will surface “later this fall”

If you’re hankering for Group FaceTime, you may have to wait a little bit.

Apple pulled Group FaceTime calling from iOS 12 developer beta 7 and macOS Mojave developer beta 7 saying it plans to bring the feature back later this year.

Group FaceTime, which was debuted at the Worldwide Developer Conference in San Jose this June, took center stage during the keynote, the demo showing up to 32 people chatting at the same time.


As of now, Apple’s developer notes don’t state why Group FaceTime was pulled from the betas, but they do state that this will be part of a future software update “later this fall.”

Group FaceTime seemed to work fine prior to the developer beta 7 releases. That said, Apple may have found issues with larger chat groups that pushed them to drop the feature from the betas for now.

iOS 12 and macOS Mojave will be available as free upgrades later this year.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
