Did someone send you “Ft?” on Snapchat and now you’re wondering what they want? We’re here to help! In this article we’ll cover everything you need to know about what Ft means on Snapchat.

Meaning of FT in a Text

Generally, when someone texts you "FT," they're asking if you want to FaceTime with them. Since FaceTime isn't integrated into all texting apps, this might also be a way of simply asking to video chat generally, rather than meaning they want to use FaceTime specifically.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  1. 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.

    • 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]
