Fortnite is the hot game on iOS devices, and soon it will be on Android phones. This popular free application has managed to hook millions of users, and not only on mobile phones or tablets, but also on consoles and computers. Epic Games, the company that created the video game, removed the invitation event, and now all users can play Fortnite in Battle Royale mode. As you surely know, Fortnite for mobile is practically identical to its computer or video console version, but there is a feature that we are missing.Voice chat. The app does not incorporate it as standard, but there are different ways to be able to chat with our partner while we play. Next, we tell you different options.
Make a FaceTime call or video call
This is one of the easiest ways to talk to your partner while you're playing. You can make a voice call or a video call with your friend through the app. Then, press the home button (without closing the app, of course) and go to Fortnite. Now you can play and talk at the same time. Yes, this can also be done through the dialer, but the biggest difference is that FaceTime is free, you just need an internet connection. Unfortunately, this option will not be available for Android phones, since FaceTime is an exclusive Apple app for its products. Also, Facetime does not allow group video calls.You can only talk to one person.
Via WhatsApp
Although FaceTime is possibly a better option for video calls than WhatsApp, when Fortnite comes to Android the most direct alternative to voice chat is the messaging appOf course, through calls or video calls. The mechanics are the same as in the first point. You make a call to your friend, go home without closing the app and open the game. WhatsApp does not consume your rate balance either, but does consume data if you are connected to the internet. In this case, it can also only be used by two people.
The best choice, download the official Xbox app
Another option to use Fortnite voice chat is by downloading the official Xbox application.This has an option to be able to interact with your friends through an audio chat. Of course, all players have to have the app. First, go to the App Store and download the Xbox App. Then create an account or sign in and add your friends. To access the voice chat, you will see three dolls at the top, when we press we can invite our friends (as long as they have a Microsoft account). When you invite users you can start the voice chat.
Xbox app interface.When the voice chat starts you can exit the application and enter Fortnite to play. The most interesting thing about this option to be able to talk while playing Fortnite is that in the notification panel we will have different settings Therefore, we can abandon or manage small sections of the chat without leaving the game.
Now it will depend on the option that best suits you. Undoubtedly, the third is the most recommended,since it is available on the App Store and Google Play for when Fortnite arrives on Android. Also, the last option has better options and you can add more than one user.
