facetime join button in message thread

sometimes, after i’ve gotten off of facetime with someone, i’ll go to the message thread and, instead of the facetime button being there, it says ‘join.’ it’ll make the sound as if the facetime had been answered, however no one is there. no matter how many times i kill the facetime and messages app, the join button is still there and the problem persists. what’s up with this? it’s annoying cause i can’t call the person until that button goes away.

It does not. Facetime works like a chatroom that you join. When you call them, it creates the facetime room. When the one persons phone dies, you leave the "chatroom" because no one else is in it. The bug that's happening is your phone still remembers you were in that original room, and tries to join it again, although the other person isn't there. Rebooting your phone is the easiest way to get past this. Me and my girl talk all the time and her phone dies religiously, until they fix it, a quick reboot and you're back up and ready to FT.

It is now June 3rd...and there has still been no resolve to this issue. I'm guessing what happens is one person "hangs up" but the other does not and assumes it has hung up because the other person is not there. Obviously, this creates a huge problem. Seems like this should be a simple fix and I feel like this did not start happening until the ios15 release. Please fix this, Apple!
