FaceTime join button dead phone

It’s annoying but I’ve learned if you turn your phone off and back on the join button will no longer be there and you’ll be able to FaceTime that person again

Hey there IdealProduct222,

Check out the steps below that may help get those FaceTime calls working as expected:

If you can't make or receive FaceTime calls

If none of the above reasons apply to you, and you still can't make or receive FaceTime calls, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your device has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet or a cellular-data connection.

Learn more if you're using router, firewall, or security software that restricts Internet access. 

2. If you're trying to use FaceTime over cellular, make sure that Use Cellular Data is on for FaceTime. Go to Settings and tap Cellular or tap Mobile Data, then turn on FaceTime. If you're using an iPad, you might see Settings > Cellular Data.

3. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that FaceTime is on. 

-If you see "Waiting for Activation," turn FaceTime off and then on again. Learn what to do if you can't activate FaceTime.

-If you don't see the FaceTime setting, make sure that Camera and FaceTime aren't off in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps.

-Make sure that you have the correct phone number or email address listed. 

4. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically.

5. Restart your device.

6. Update your device to the latest version of iOS.

You can find these steps in If you can't make a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

We hope this helps.

Thank you for the ideas, but it is the Apple update that caused this. No one had this problem or anything like it until January. This is a code glitch we are all asking to be fixed. And we also know that because it has started happening pretty much every time the other person’s phone dies, rather than a random occurrence of FaceTime freezing. We can still call anyone else.

You can fix it by going to the facetime app and calling them and hanging up over and over until it says call failed or something like that, worked for me twice now

are y’all gonna help or what??

You can fix it by going to the actual facetime app and calling them and hanging up over and over until it says call failed instead of connecting

if you both click on your facetime app and then clear it out of your recents it should let you facetime again.

It’s annoying but what i do is i just reset my phone and it goes away
