What is FaceTime? [View all]

As I have previously posted, I lost most of my contacts awhile ago and I thought that it happened after a software was installed itself on my iMac.

Now I noticed that every single contact has FaceTime included and I also have an application called FaceTime.

I cannot delete this entry from any of the contacts and I cannot delete the application, am getting a message that "it cannot be modified or deleted, required by MacOS."

It was the day after it was FaceTime was installed that I first realized that I lost many of the contacts.

If, in the future, another "software update" is being installed, can I stop it?
