Live captions beta not working

Live captions (beta) not working on iPhone 11 ios16 keeps saying “Live Captions”

Download Required

To use Live Captions for this FaceTime call, you'll need to download a language model that can be used to generate and display on-device captions.

Then it I hit download it says live captions “Error in downloading”

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Live captions in French do not work for Facetime I bought an iPad Air 5 for my deaf grandma so I can call her on Facetime and she can read what I say. I set the language of the device to French, and the region to France. I also selected the setting to always display live captions in Facetime. When starting a call, I briefly got a modal telling me a language model for French was about to be downloaded. I think it failed (way too fast, the english one took more time), but I never saw this modal anymore. On a call, live captions does not work. If I set the region to USA (but keep the language of the device to French), live caption works, but... in English only. How can I get this to work in French?

How can I restore FaceTime reactions on my iPhone 16? For some reason my FaceTime reactions stopped working. When I looked up the solutions, it tells me to use the video effect button on my control center, but it’s not there. I’ve tried searching for it on the “add options” thing and searching for it in settings but nothing comes up.

FaceTime keeps getting overrun by the new Standby clock When I’m using FaceTime, I often turn the phone horizontally so there’s a better picture but ever since the most recent iOS update, the standby clock will override the FaceTime video. I can still hear the audio from the call but there’s no video and when I turn the phone vertically to make the clock go away, I see my phone’s wallpaper lock screen but there’s no option to “open” the FaceTime video. All I get is the audio and often times, the Standby clock will end the FaceTime call entirely. Aside from turning off the standby clock, is there a way to fix this or possibly a bug in the most recent iOS update?

In that case I would call AppleCare.
