Setting up Face time on new I PAD

I am a new Apple user and am trying to use Face book. I had an IPad Air and had no problem. I purchased a new IPAD today and I do not know how to set up Face time. Suggestions??

Facebook and Facetime are two very different things, so your question is confusing. Facetime is an Apple service. Facebook is a service provided by the Meta corporation.


For Facetime:

On an Apple mobile device go to:

Settings > Facetime

Settings > iMessage


and turn on.


If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, read this support article --> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone - Apple Support


Also try restarting your device. That cleared up an activation issue we had, and it doesn't hurt to try.


If it still isn't working after a day, contact Apple --> Contact - Official Apple Support
