Ft
FaceTime
Apple device users sometimes use FT to refer to FaceTime, the video call software bundled with iPhones, iPads, and Macs. FT is most often used when asking someone if they want to conduct a FaceTime call.
For example, consider the following exchange between a parent and child:
Parent: "I don't know how to connect to the Internet at this hotel. Can you help?"
Child: "Sure. You probably just have to pull up the Wi-Fi login. Have you connected to their network?"
Parent: "... What button do I click to do that?"
Child: "It might be easier if we just FT."
Parent: "What's FT?"
Child: "FaceTime, mom. I'm going to video call you, just a sec."
Only Apple devices have FaceTime installed, so only Apple device users are likely to use FT to mean FaceTime. If you don't have an Apple device and you've been invited to FT, you'll have to explain that you don't have access to FaceTime.
Example
FT lets you see your loved ones ... provided you both have Apple devices
