"FT" in a text message most commonly means FaceTime, referring to a video call using Apple's FaceTime application. It's essentially a request or suggestion to have a conversation via video.
Here's a breakdown:
- FaceTime: This is a video calling service available on Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs).
- Usage: When someone texts "FT?" or "Let's FT," they're asking if you're available to have a FaceTime call.
- Purpose: To see and speak to each other in real-time, offering a more personal connection than just text.
Example:
- "Hey, can we FT later to discuss the project?"
- "FT me when you're free."
Alternative Meanings (Less Common):
While FaceTime is the dominant meaning, "FT" could also stand for:
- Forfeit: In a gaming context, indicating a loss or surrender. However, this is less likely in general text conversations.
- Full Time: Referring to employment or a commitment that takes up the majority of one's time.
In summary, when you see "FT" in a text, it almost always means the sender wants to have a FaceTime video call with you. Context is key to confirming the intended meaning, but FaceTime is the most probable interpretation.
