FaceTime Audio icon grayed out when making a new FaceTime

FaceTime audio icon greyed out 

Hi guys. My audio icon for FaceTime is completely greyed out, only the video icon is available and I can only call my family members via FaceTime video . They all have iPhones and they all have the audio option on FaceTime working. They have tried calling me via FaceTime audio and it wouldn’t go through and disconnect. They can only call me via FaceTime video . I have tried all the recommended options on the internet and nothing has worked, I even backed up and reset my iPhone to fix this none worked!

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Hi Obviouslynope,


The first step in troubleshooting this concern will be to complete the actions outlined at If you can't make or receive a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad including those under the "If you still need help" section.


If still not working, verify that you can place and receive standard phone calls and check for reported hardware issues using iPhone parts and service history:


"An Unknown Part  message appears if the part installation is incomplete or if the part:

 

  • Was replaced with a nongenuine part
  • Was already used or installed in another iPhone
  • Isn't functioning as expected"


This may help to indicate if there is failed hardware detected which could prevent functions like phone calls or FaceTime Audio calls to complete.


Regards.
