📝 Key Points of This Article

• The mention of “FaceTime” has been removed from the “Pixel 10a” teaser page before we knew it.
• Ultimately, it seems the idea was scrapped.
• It is possible it was deleted simply because the description was misleading.

On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, the official U.S. Google Store published a teaser page for the Pixel 10a, the next generation of affordable Google Pixel devices, which is scheduled to be officially announced and available for pre-order on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.

Initially, this “Pixel 10a” teaser page included a mention of “FaceTime,” the video calling service for iOS, as a supported feature, which generated quite a buzz in some circles. Since there was no further explanation regarding FaceTime support on the “Pixel 10a,” the specific details remained unknown, but it even led to rumors of the long-awaited release of a FaceTime app for Android, which has never been available before.

However, the mention of “FaceTime” has since been removed from the “Pixel 10a” teaser page. It appears that it has been retracted after all.

While the specific reason for the removal of the FaceTime mention from the “Pixel 10a” teaser page is unknown, it is possible that it was deleted simply because it was a misleading description.

This is because FaceTime has already been offering a feature where the caller can share a link to allow others to join a FaceTime call via a web browser. It is possible that the initial mention of FaceTime support on the “Pixel 10a” teaser page was merely referring to this browser-based compatibility.

Recently, various cross-platform features have been released one after another, such as RCS messaging between Android and iOS and interoperability between “Quick Share” and “AirDrop.” Google may have wanted to highlight FaceTime support for the “Pixel 10a” as one of these features. However, since the description was prone to being over-interpreted—even leading to rumors of a dedicated FaceTime app for Android—Google might have decided to remove the mention to avoid further confusion.
