Ft stands for FaceTime. If someone asks if you want to “ft,” they’re asking if you want to video chat. FaceTime is Apple’s built-in video chat program for the iPhone. FaceTime isn’t integrated with Snapchat, so you’ll need to close the app and open it up to FaceTime someone.[1]
- “Do you want to ft?” means, “Do you want to video chat right now?”
- Someone might say, “Hmu to ft” which means, “Hit me up to FaceTime.”
- A sole “ft?” is an invitation to video chat.

It means they want to video chat with you. A lot of people use “FaceTime” as a general term for “video chat,” kind of the same way people say “Kleenex” even if it’s just a generic tissue. Snapchat has a built-in video call feature, so feel free to use that if you don’t have an iPhone.
- You do not need to exit the app to video chat with someone if you’re using Snapchat’s software.
- You can only video chat with someone if they’re on your friends list.

Download Article
Tap the camera logo on the top right of the text convo. Go into the text chat with whoever you want to video call. Look in the top right for a camera logo and tap that button. Wait for the other person’s video to pop up and you’ll be connected.
- The phone logo next to the camera will connect you via voice chat only.
- You can video chat with up to 15 friends at a time. To initiate a group call, start a text group chat with everyone you want to include and click the camera logo.
- You can swipe down on a video chat window to minimize it.
- Be careful! The other person can see your video before they accept your invite. Don’t pick your nose or anything while you’re waiting.

Select the camera next to their name if they’re in your contacts. Go into your contacts list and scroll down to find your friend’s name. On the right side of their name, there is a phone button and a camera logo. Tap the camera logo and FaceTime will automatically open to connect you.[2]
- You can also start a FaceTime in the middle of a phone convo by pressing the camera button on the screen.
- You can also open FaceTime manually if you don’t have them saved. Open the app and select “New FaceTime.” Then, enter your friend’s number or email and click the “FaceTime” button.[3]

Tips
“Ft” could also stand for “featuring.” If someone is talking about a song or you see an ad from a musical artist, assume “ft” is short for “featuring.”[4]

There’s also an off chance that “Ft” stands for “feet," but that's pretty unlikely.
