iPhone X VOIP calls failing

Hello,

Since I got my iPhone X, Voice and Video calls over Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp have been failing. I try over and over again and they continue to fail. I then immediately use my old iPhone 7 Plus and make the same call and it works.


Device: iPhone X

iOS: 11.1

Apps: Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp (both updated to the latest versions)


Calls failing on iPhone X and still working on iPhone 7 Plus (both phones have the same iOS and the latest versions of the apps).


I tried deleting the apps and re-installing, I tried restarting the phone, even hard restarting. No luck.


Any help ?

iPhone X, iOS 11.1

I deleted all VOIP apps including messenger and whatsapp and viber. Then reinstalled them again. Didnt work...

Tried restarting and hard restarting the phone

Didnt work...

Then finally tried resetting all settings ... WORKED!

My content all stayed. But you have to set everything again in regards to notifications and face ID and privacy ... etc!


THE SOLUTION IS TO RESET ALL SETTINGS (for a reason that I dont understand)

I am experiencing the same issue. Apple Support had me tried to delete the apps and reinstall them, both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. This did not resolve the issue. Now, they are telling me to Reset All Settings. I am reluctant as it does seem to be a shot in the dark and they said it resolved the issue for one person. I am surprised there are not hundred's of ticket's opened with Apple on this issue. All that are out there that are having this issue, please get a ticket open so they will get engineering resources assigned to resolve ASAP.

I will return the iPhone X back to Apple...... I called them and they said they have no solution to this problem and they are not willing to take action to fix it because there is no enough complains about it.


Since I got my iPhone X, Voice and Video over Viber calls over Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp have been failing. I try over and over again and they continue to fail. I then immediately use my old iPhone 7 Plus and make the same call and it works.

I am going to return the iPhone X , the viber, what’s up , messenger are not working on my new iPhone.

I called apple but they couldn’t solve the issue. They said they don’t have enough complais to fix the issue.

I am very frustrated with apple I can’t believe that they do that to people who use to trust them and been customer for ever.
