FaceTime

Hello, I have come to the realization that FaceTime has disappeared from my home screen somehow. Is there some way I can redownload it?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hello. If FaceTime is missing from your iPhone 13 Pro's home screen, first try searching for it. If you see an option to "Open" Facetime, it is likely that it was simply removed from your iPhone's home screen. You can get the app back on your iPhone's home screen by accessing the app library, searching for "FaceTime," and pressing down on this app until it starts to wiggle. You can then drag it back to your home screen.


If it alternatively looks like FaceTime has been deleted from your iPhone, it can be redownloaded by clicking the link here on your device.
