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.

Another week no fix. Just spent 30 minutes trying to get back on FaceTime with someone.

Me and my partner are also having this problem and it is getting so annoying. We have to hang up and call back multiple times before it actually rings.

I have this problem right now, i clicked join and it shows that i facetime called the person on the phone app. Do you know if it actually calls them?

Same. I think at some point the other party had to make multiple calls. I get that 1 call or no missed calls, apparently they’ve made more than 5 calls already..

Seven months and thousands of “me too” hits and still no workable response?!

C’mon apple!!
