Earlier this month at the WWDC 2014, Apple released the next iteration of their mobile operating system, iOS 8, as well as OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The company did showcase most of the notable features of iOS 8 at the event, but there are features still left, which are good, and they come out once people start using the operating system. Recently, it was revealed that iOS 8 users will be able to make conference FaceTime calls. Previously, users could only make a FaceTime call to a single person, but iOS 8 give users the ability to add more participants in an ongoing call. This is a very good feature, and will definitely come in handy for many people who love talking to their friends and family.

Last week at WWDC 2014 Apple unveiled iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. Both softwares will be ready for public release this fall. While the company took considerable time to explain some of the new features, it didn’t have enough time to explain all of the new features. Which is why over the past few days we have been hearing about additional features that are present in the new software. For example, this wasn’t mentioned during the keynote, but iOS 8 brings the ability to make a FaceTime audio conference call. FaceTime audio calls are hardly anything new. However there was a limitation. There could only be two participants in the call. In iOS 8 it would be possible to add more parties to the FaceTime audio conference call. So once a call is initiated in the conventional way the user can simply add other people and have a conference call free of charge. This works across both iOS and OS X so its not like users will be limited to their mobile devices.
