    Apps FaceTime on Apple TV - audio output and input through HomePods

    FaceTime video UX and usability issues

    I've been trying to find an answer to this, and would like to know if this really is the case in iOS 26 or if I'm missing something as it's not being widely discussed from what I've seen. The current functionality of the app feels like it's a beta from 2010. The layout is one thing, but...
