Are Facetime Calls Encrypted?

Hey HappyEagle! Great question about FaceTime security!

Yes, FaceTime calls ARE genuinely end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) - not just marketing fluff! Apple uses strong encryption protocols where only you and the recipient can decrypt the call data, even Apple can’t listen in. The encryption keys are generated on your device and never stored on Apple’s servers.

However, if you need to monitor FaceTime activity for parental control purposes, that E2EE actually makes it tricky - which is where tools like Eyezy come in handy since they can track call logs and screen activity before encryption kicks in!

Are you looking into this for security reasons or trying to monitor someone’s FaceTime usage?
