Why is facetime disconnecting an active phone call that I am on?

When I receive and incoming facetime call it disconnects my current phone call. This is a serious problem, I was just on hold for 30 minutes waiting for a representative to answer and I go a facetime and it disconnected my active call. This is recurring problem, and I need help fixing.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and an iMessage group chat, that we use for Group FaceTime calls. When I am on a regular phone call and I get a FaceTime call through call waiting, it DOES NOT give me the option to accept or decline. The FaceTime call disconnects my current phone call and the FaceTime call drops as well. Also, if there is a current FaceTime call active through iMessage, it will also disconnect my current standard phone call multiple times.

The only fix currently available, is to turn facetime off while on the phone. I hope this gets fixed by Apple soon!!!

What the actual intercourse, I cant express how intercoursing dissaponted I am, this is a crucial isse, it shouldn't tale 11 month to fix you are selling a PHONE so the PHONE not being able to do its basic phoning duties shouldn't be on the back of your priority list. One gaslighting reply " just end call hahaha" and then radio silence, simply disgraceful, I'm turning of face time until u get your intercoursing **** together you "multitrillion dollar company" that can't fix a simple problem in 11month.

This is not helpful. Yes, those options are displaying, but they don't work. If a facetime call comes in, or a regular call comes in while I'm on facetime, both calls will eventually drop no matter what I press or don't press.


Click "Decline" on the incoming call - both calls drop

Click "End and Accept" on the incoming call - both calls drop

Click "Hold and Accept" - both calls drop

Let the incoming call just ring and do nothing - both calls drop


This makes my phone and facetime - both of which I use all the time - unusable. And it's really offensive that apple hasn't done anything about it. Please help

This issue with facetime disconnecting an active phone call is really, really annoying. I am unable to deny the Facetime call...too late, my phone call is gone. It is impacting me as a small business owner when clients phone me and I lose their call midway. I am sure they think that I hung up on them.

When is Apple going to resolve this or do they even check in here.
