Can anybody recommend a free app to video chat between iPad and Android phone, please?
Hi Lily
We use zoom, but it is on a laptop.
If you can use it on a phone can really recommend it

Thank you all. I have never heard of Zoom I shall investigate later, busy day!
Just remembered, Zoom was used a lot during last year political do da’s 
It is useful…and the basic Zoom account, which is free, allows you to set up meetings that can only last 40 minutes……which I find wonderful as gives the great excuse to sign off! More than 40mins on a video call is just too much!!

For one on one Telegram is also very good. I use Zoom for group chats and teaching.

Zoom says you’re limited to 40 mins, but you can go on as long as you like if it’s just two of you. We use that a lot, and of course Skype.
Facebook video messenger is good, as long as you don’t mind Facebook.

I do mind Facebook, but thanks anyway.

When my son’s girlfriend was still in China they Skyped for hours on days off…
I think their personal record was almost 12 hours

I’ve used all of these suggestions and also WhatsApp. FaceTime is very simple and you don’t need to book a time. I think there are a couple of others which are for PCs but I’m more familiar with Apple. Good luck!
I have always had better quality calls with Signal.
I use whatsapp
WhatsApp works great for me, one to one and group chats
Our family uses Google Meet - MIL and SIL have iPad/iOS devices, we use a Macbook, and BIL uses WindowsPC - barring poor network connection, it has all worked pretty well over the past year and a half.
On occasion, we’ve had up to 10 people from 3 continents in the video chat.
