Face time is
very old and a successful feature introduced by Apple to iPhone and mac
devices. But this calling feature has been surrounded by call related issue
from long time. One basic problem that is reported by many users is that they
are unable to make calls using Facetime.
When they open
FaceTime, my "recents" come up, but users are unable to initiate a
FaceTime call with them. In some cases users are able to make call once the
other person has called to them. Rather
than appearing the normal white color, the camera icon next to each contact
appears a bit grayed out.
The issue is
majorly reported with outgoing facetime calls where users can answer an
incoming call but fail to do a Facetime call from their iPhone or other mac
devices like iPad. All incoming and outgoing calls fail when sending and
receiving from my new iMac. The Facetime
related issue are reported with iOS 10 and iOS 11 on iPhone 6/7 plus.
There are few
fixes/ workaround available that you many try to fix Facetime related issues:
Fix 1 : Sign in and sign out from
FaceTime
you have to be
signed in on FaceTime on both devices first, then in FaceTime make sure on your
iPhone you are using your apple id and allow iPhone cellular call enabled.
Fix 2: Reset your router
Try a
different Wi-Fi network or wireless network.
Switching the networks helped many user to get the calling feature
worked. If Facetime is working with
other Routers it is suggested to reset that router and the calling feature
should be working again.
Fix 3: Recreate the contacts
In case your
Facetime app is working with some contacts while not with other you can try to
delete those contacts from contacts app. It may happen that some of the contact
cards are bad. So delete the card with the number that did not work and test by
making a new card with the same information on it.
I hope these
steps helped to solve the Facetime Problem.
