Unable to access FaceTime after 17.4 update

Same as all of the comments above. It’s very frustrating to have to have another app just to get a function back that was a part of the call settings. Why and what was the point of this. Apple should have sent out some type of information explaining that it will now be needed if you want to continue using FaceTime. Very disappointed.

Apparently you have to download the FaceTime app from the App Store.

I did my 17.whatever update, and decided to do a little cleaning up while I was at it. It turns out I was a little too thorough and deleted my FaceTime App. Ha ha ha... I reinstalled FaceTime, and presto! Even if you didn't delete it, as a attempted fix, you might try reinstalling FaceTime. Good luck!!

This happened to me too, and I have always had the app on iphone and iPad. It keeps asking me to sign in but I am already signed in according to settings. so annoying.

I can’t download FaceTime

Too much wrong with Apple these days ! Samsung here everyone comes

If you go to apps and type in FaceTime. All you get is FaceTime that you can click on and it's not even an app to download. It takes you to a page you have to either create a link or tap on New FaceTime. You tap on the green New FaceTime and it'll show you contacts to FaceTime. Then it looks like you'll have to go to apps each time to get to FaceTime to even contact them. This is absurd! Why did they break something that wasn't broken!

I too have the same issue I can’t FaceTime when I do FaceTime to another iPhone that has been updated to version 17.4.1 it says it’s unavailable. Like what is going on?

I have iPhone and can’t FaceTime since new version was installed. Is apple going to fix this?

I have the exact same problem, no FaceTime no iMessage after ios 17 update! I even reset iPad but it didn’t solve the problem. Any solution?

When my daughter have a iPad is for the school but I think she can have FaceTime and the others apps but no

Hi

Me too .. they should be paying us for our time .. what is going on with these people.. something in the water?

After the latest iPhone update, the FaceTime button under only one of my contacts has disappeared so am not sure what to do as the FaceTime button is there for all my other contacts? I have been reading on hear that I might need to reinstall the FaceTime app but not sure I have to do that to get back FaceTime access to just one contact?

My iPhone 11 Pro Max updated to 17.4. Now my FaceTime on ONE of my contacts is NOT working. It's working on all others except one! WHY! They all have iPhone, so why is it that only one of the contacts FaceTime is grayed out and not working and the others work.

The only way to get it to work is go to Text message and click the camera and ask them to join. When they join, FaceTime will come on. But you have to ask them each time to join and you both have to be on text messages to get hold of them to accept.

What is up with this? This is one of the reason's I DO NOT like to update phone with iPhone updates. Things don't work when it's updated.

How do I fix this so this one contact has FaceTime back?
