Hi PixelPath, it’s great that you’re thinking about protecting your privacy on FaceTime. A few simple tips that come to mind:

  1. Only FaceTime with people you know and trust. Avoid accepting calls from unknown numbers.

  2. Check your FaceTime settings and make sure you have to manually accept each call, vs. allowing auto-answer.

  3. Be mindful of your surroundings and what might be visible in the background during a call. Avoid sensitive information being on display.

At the end of the day, open communication is key. Talk to your loved ones, especially kids and grandkids, about being smart and cautious online. Building that trust is more effective than trying to secretly monitor in my view.

Hope this helps a bit! Let me know if any other questions come to mind.
