ios14 FaceTime disappeared

Have you ever tried to change your region from UAE to another region in the Settings.

Theoretically from iOS14, even if you bought iPhone from UAE, the facetime APP can appear when you changed your region to another region.

I've tested it successfully.

Hi, you can check this: FaceTime Showing “App Requires Specific Features” Error – Explained

The reason FaceTime is showing this error on your iPhone is that your iPhone doesn’t support FaceTime. If you bought your iPhone from UAE or certain other middle east countries, FaceTime will not work. It’s because these countries have banned FaceTime by law. Talking about UAE, it has banned FaceTime and all other VoIP services. They don’t want these apps to surpass its voice call monopoly. Hence, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority or TRA, which is a sate-run carrier service in UAE, has banned VoIP apps. If you buy a phone from these countries FaceTime will not work. You can not even install the app on your iPhone. However, if you bought your iPhone from any other country, say the US or India, FaceTime will only show this error if you are visiting any of the middle eastern countries where it is banned. That said, you can use a VPN to use FaceTime in this case.

The region change worked for me! Just changed from UAE to Netherlands and it immediately reappeared. Thanks Sephiroth!

If you go to app library and go into the folder socials, do you see Facetime? There isn't a way to just reinstall Facetime, you may need to restore.

Yes attempt a restore, but before you do that, swipe down on the screen to reveal a search bar and search "Facetime." If it still doesn't show, proceed with a backup and restore.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard, facetime should be available on almost every single iPhone unless you're using an insanely old phone. I can only suggest that you proceed with backup and restore since there isn't a way for me to troubleshoot an app store. If it still is unavailable after your backup and restore, it may be an hardware problem. If it does come to that, Contact Support to schedule an appointment or for online assistance.

Yes, that’s absolutely perfect. However, I haven’t not seen apps getting removed just by entering or leaving an country, they only get blocked and are not removed completely from the device. So the current path is still to try to recover FaceTime if possible using backup and restore. Ignore my previous hardware opinion then.

In short: We are trying to get back stock apps.
