FaceTime Needs to be updated Error

Hey guys, I’ve recently updated my iPhone 8 to iOS 13.2 but can no longer use FaceTime. Each time I click on the icon I receive the message “FaceTime Needs to be updated - the developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS 13.2” Is anyone else having this issue?

Excellent! I’m so pleased it helped. Under the hood, iPhones are just computers; there’s a lot of configuration files and file caches associated with any app. I think the reason apple tend to suggest you uninstall / reinstall stuff is just to clear everything out and start from fresh. Luckily FaceTime doesn’t need any complex setup...


enjoy!
