facetime join button in message thread

Yeh same, reboot does the work. Though once my phone is on, the other person would be notified that I joined a call. Which I never did. It’s just a weird thing. Imagine 3 different people that I’m giving anxiety by getting notified I am on a call with them but I’m not even there.

this also happens to me all the time with the one person i ft everyday. they facetime me, i don’t get the call notification and they text me asking why aren’t i picking up. i click the “join” button that’s green on our i message and it “joins” a already active facetime call w nobody in the other side and it looks like a group facetime icon w just me and them. but they’re not actually on the call. we have to call eachother and then press facetime from the call to actually connect. pls fix this is so annoying

Ah Damm. For me it’s working normally now. Every time this happens I just make voice call on FaceTime and switch on video from there.

Oh my goodness!! Same here.. I truly don’t get it and it seems to happen to only one of my contacts and we never are in Group FaceTime or group message so I thought maybe someone else was on the FaceTime with us but without telling me lol I know I get paranoid but I’ll click it and then it says the contact and then says waiting for the other person to join ..I think , something like that.

It was to my understanding if there is a join icon at the top right of the phone instead of the usual FaceTime icon there were other people in the group on the call. Similar to a Group FaceTime meeting. However I hope this is not the case because that just wrong I’d it is. Apple should make it possible to see all parties involved in the call before answering.

This is happening to me too exactly as you described- the “join” pops up after a FaceTime call where the other persons phone dies. Now we’re not getting each other’s FaceTime calls, they’re just not going through. We both have the new iOS. Please fix apple!!

I am also experiencing this problem. It does seem related to the person I’m FTing with having their phone die during the conversation.

I feel this is a more serious problem than Apple realizes. I don’t care about the green button, or that it takes me a little longer to call this person, BUT I get no notifications, no ring, no missed call, NOTHING if they try to FT me. To them it looks like I just didn’t answer. To me it looks like they never called at all. That is dangerous to people that rely on FT for communication.

It’s my understanding that this means the other person is in an active ft call…I called apple and shared my screen to let them see. And that’s what she told me…Just like it’ll tell you when somebody puts their phone on disturb it tells us when another person is in a ft call. Stay woke.

I’m having the same problem & it’s getting very annoying. I’m not sure how to handle this situation without turning my phone off every time.

My partner and I live apart and we have exactly the same problem. As we usually FaceTime several times a day it's really annoying that so often we try to call and it doesn't ring the other end. And then we try again and it just says Join. Seems like the Group FaceTime implementation isn't working too well. It's been like this for weeks.

I am having the exact same problem as them and I have deleted FaceTime on my iPad and iPhone and redownloaded them I have made sure there are no updates and my FaceTime continues to do this as well as my girlfriends apple devices please help

I literally have this problem ALL THE TIMEEEE! It's so annoying because sometimes the person can't even call me back and the facetime calls never go through. You guys need to get rid of this feature. Clearly it's not working

None of these replies tell you how to fix it… this is a really annoying feature Apple. This green join button has been in my message thread for 2 days and I can’t figure out how to get rid of it… someone please explain

the same exact thing happens to me and it’s very annoying. sometimes i click the button over and over again and it eventually goes away (but that only happens rarely). i hope they’re able to fix this issue.
