Yes, but it is not secure
"The audio/video contents of FaceTime calls are protected by end-to-end encryption, so no one but the sender and receiver can access them. Apple cannot decrypt the data." [1] [1] https://ssl.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb1...
Why is Signal (the app) free? What's the business model?

I'm sure there is no real end-to-end encryption. And you can only do that between iPhone/Mac users.

Which has been refuted several times.
Call routing information, like all metadata, can only be protected legally not cryptographically. So it's not something I trust to people outside Canada, no matter how much esteem I have for them.
I ended up using a browser on the phone to go to the HN article to go to the right app store link.
I can't believe this hasn't been solved.
Why is the App Store application search process so horrible? I agree, "Signal" and "Whisper" are bad things to have to search for, but there's basically no way to enter a simple memorable text string in the store and get the right app. I ended up using a browser on the phone to go to the HN article to go to the right app store link. I can't believe this hasn't been solved.
It would be nice if the server software were open source as well. Call routing information, like all metadata, can only be protected legally not cryptographically. So it's not something I trust to people outside Canada, no matter how much esteem I have for them.

Um. Isn't encrypted calling on iPhones already provided by FaceTime Audio?
