I’m deeply annoyed when somebody calls me on FaceTime. Go away! I can just about bring myself to answering a call from people in my contacts, sometimes. Or perhaps I’m just turning into a recluse.
Should be possible to disable FaceTime in your settings.
There's a few of us then. Video calls are the spawn of hell.
And those people that walk about so we can all hear them? They are what lamp posts and open manholes were invented for.
Video calls are great when they are prearranged, but a nightmare when they come unexpected.
I once worked in an office that upgraded the phones to some sort of smart desk phone which had a proprietary video calling feature - it only worked between the same kind of phone and came on automatically. We rarely ever used it because so few of our contacts had the same system. But one time I called someone who did have the same system, and we both had looks of horror on our faces when we realised the video had started!
People feel the need to have them on packed rush hour trains too. Why?
