FaceTime audio call option is missing on iPhone

When i open my facetime, it only shows option to do a video call. Ther is no option or sign for audio call. I have tried everything, like switching on off, removing the app and installing again. Updating to latest IOS. But its its same. I dont know what to do.

You will find that there several places you can make FaceTime audio calls from.


One of these is from directly within a person's contact in your Contacts list.

In there you'll find a section called "FaceTime", and next to that two icons, one for FaceTime video (a camera) and another for audio (a phone). Tap the phone icon to make the audio call.


Another is from inside an iMessage conversation.

Open the conversation of the person you wish to call and in the top right of the screen next to your contact's profile photo is a FaceTime icon.

Tap that to open a menu which gives you the choice to make either FaceTime video or audio calls, as well as to initiate screen-sharing.
