I really hope this fails.

Apple will use it's dominant position to create lock in like how they did with iMessage instead of cooperating with other platforms on a common standard.

Oder friends and family are surprised when they want to video call over Facetime and find it hard to believe other people's phones don't have Apple apps.

Does this have an Android app? Because the other ones do.

Yes, you can accept/decline invitations on any platform.

That's not an app.
