Apple confirms Group FaceTime, dual-SIM support to arrive alongside iOS 12.1

Available for free through Apple Books, the revised “iPhone User Guide for iOS 12.1” is largely unchanged from a previous version created for iOS 12. There are, however, two major additions that confirm upcoming availability of features teased at WWDC 2018 in June and Apple’s iPhone unveiling last month.

The e-book, which serves as a digital manual for new iPhone users, now lists Group FaceTime as a iOS 12.1 feature. Introduced at WWDC, Group FaceTime allows users to conduct FaceTime video conference calls with up to 32 participants.

Originally slated for release with iOS 12 in September, Apple postponed launch in August. The feature returned for testing in the first iOS 12.1 beta issued to developers last month, prompting speculation of its inclusion in a final build this fall.

In addition to Group FaceTime, the user guide also notes dual-SIM functionality for iPhone XR, XS and XS Max will go live when the iOS point update sees release.
