Collaborate on a document in FaceTime on iPhone

In a FaceTime call, you can collaborate on a shared document. You can initiate collaboration in a FaceTime call that’s in progress, or you can initiate collaboration from the app where the document was created.

Collaborate on a document

Start a conversation in the FaceTime app with the people you want to collaborate with. (See Make a FaceTime call.)
Tap , then choose the app you want to use below Collaborate Together.
If you don’t see , tap the screen to open the FaceTime controls.
Open the document, then tap .
Share the document with your collaborators in the call using FaceTime, AirDrop, Mail, or Messages, then tap Collaborate.
A notification to start collaborating appears at the top of your screen.
Tap Start, then tap Collaborate.
Your collaborators get a notification that you’ve shared a document you want to collaborate on. When they tap Open on the notification, the document opens on their device.
Everyone who receives and opens the document can make changes and see changes made by others. When someone makes a change, a notification is sent to all collaborators.
