The feature is in the experimental stage for now. In a blog post explaining the changes made in AirMessage 4, the developers mention that it allows you to place and receive FaceTime calls on Android devices and the web. Updating to AirMessage Server 4 on your Mac brings support for FaceTime calls on Android devices. The service needs your Mac to be powered on and connected to the internet at all times, even if it is on a different network. Then, every message you send using AirMessage on Android goes through the server and is then sent to the intended recipient via iMessage. It runs off an AirMessage Server you can install on your Mac. If you haven’t heard of AirMessage before, it is a free software utility born out of a community project. The software now makes a stronger case for itself with recently added support for native FaceTime calling on Android devices. Android devices and conventional web browsers cannot connect to iMessage, but you could install an AirMessage Server on your Mac to bring this functionality to them.
