Why does “you are joining a FaceTime call with a blocked contact” it is my sister and I have not blocked her number.

I am getting this same issue and none of the support documents I have found so far, or online support can resolve this issue. Issue occurred right after my upgrade to iOS15. Same error message that I am getting facetiming my parents. I had no issues a couple of days ago, but yesterday and today we cannot facetime.

This is not happening with any of my other contacts, just this one. I have never blocked, nor are they currently a blocked contact.

"You are joining a facetime with a blocked contact"

This is definitely a bug in the iOS. Needs to get investigated by the developers at Apple. Its happening to more then a couple of people. I have found online posts as well.

Hello llovetosew,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand your concern with receiving the error when joining the FaceTime call with your sister. We're happy to assist you with this.


Let's double check the contact to ensure it isn't blocked by following the steps in this article:
