What does FT mean?

On Snapchat, FT often stands for ‘FaceTime,’ which is Apple’s video call feature.

You may see people use the term FT when they want to ask you to FaceTime with them, or when referring to the fact that they were on a FaceTime call with somebody else.

Although FaceTime is specific to Apple, some people may use the term FT to refer to Snapchat’s own video chat feature, which you can access from within the app.

Across the internet, ‘ft’ in lowercase is also used to mean ‘featuring,’ which you will mostly see in song titles, but some people also use the term in their social media captions.
