Cameras freezing on Facetime.

Every time I am on facetime, my camera will freeze and then eventually put me on pause. This started a couple of days ago and since then the issue won’t go away. I’ve updated my phone to the newest update, i’ve reset my phone, and i’ve also deleted and redownloaded the facetime app but nothing will fix it.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Are you experiencing the issue with multiple contacts?

Have you had the chance to make sure that your device storage is not extremely low?


If you answer yes to both questions, please test your camera by taking a video.

If possible, you can also test out the camera by using a different video calling app.


If you are unable to shoot a video or the issue persists on a different app, you may have to have the device inspected by a technician.

If the issue is isolated to FaceTime, please use a fast and stable network as mentioned in the article below.
