FaceTime Missing “turn off restrictions”

So just got my new phone, and I noticed I don’t have the FaceTime app. Went to the Apple store and it said “open”. I clicked it, and it said that certain features and apps etc are restricted via. So I went into the screentime settings and it said that FaceTime was listed as “always allowed”. Checked everything else and nothing was blocking or restricting the use of FaceTime. Please help me get FaceTime back.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

What is the model number of your iPhone? Settings>General>About>Model.

You may have to scroll to see the entry for Model.

Since iOS 12.2, the Model Name is displayed as well as a generic model code


In what country with which wireless provider are you attempting to

activate FaceTime? Some iPhones meant for the Middle Eastern markets

will work only with certain wireless providers in certain countries and will

not allow FaceTime even when no longer being used in those restricted

countries.
