FaceTime and call issues on iPhone 16 Pro Max after iOS 18.3.1 update After updating my iPhone 16 pro max to 18.3.1, FaceTime calls drop and make it unable to call back. You click on the person's name in the FaceTime app and it does nothing. After about a minute, the phone will do a hard reboot and everything works again for a little. On calls, if I have the phone on speaker, the phone will randomly turn off the speaker. On FaceTime and calls, if I have the phone on mute, it will randomly turn off the mute. Cellular connection has also been horrible. Using WiFi, it's not as bad. I’ve tried updating the phone on my Mac to see if it’s just a bad download, did not fix the issue. Tried restoring the phone, did not fix it either. Been in contact with Apple support and been told it’s most likely a buggy update and I should just wait for the next update to come in.

Incoming Facetime calls immediately end/drop Within the past few days, all the incoming Facetime calls I get simply end within one or two seconds without allowing me to accept the call. The banner or full screen display shows up and then ends on its own. It happens when I'm using DND and not using it. I thought updating to iOS 16 would help, but it continues to happen. Phone calls are not dropped (I tested this with a friend), so it's clearly something with Facetime. I did not change any settings either in the last week or so. Yes my internet and data connection is fine, I have restarted the phone as well. Any advice is appreciated! For reference, I am using an iPhone 12 Pro.

Iphone 7 iOS 15.7.2 dropping facetime call the minute the other party accepts the call Hello, I´ve been thru the forum and couldn't find a fix for this. My iPhone facetime is not working, when I call anyone with Facetime the minute the person picks up the call it will drop on my phone, and the other party will see a call failed message. I´m trying to use it within my household and mine is the only one with the problem. there are 2 phones 13 and one 6s that work fine. I reset my iPhone 7 to the factory defaults to no avail. The ios is updated. ALSO, calling from whatsapp wont work. Is there a fix for this?

I am facing the same problem. I have an iPhone SE, iPhone 11, iPhone 13. This issue persists only in iPhone 11 that too for over past 4 months. After the recent update iOS 16.5, most probably a week ago it has become more irritating. Calls are fine over the speaker or airpods or wired apple headphones but it always gets disconnected while on phone earpiece. I have gone through all the options of - a) resetting it as new, b) restore, c) apple store visit, d) carrier store visit, e) reset e-sim, f) sim card change. Still the issue didn’t resolve. It is completely a software issue which Apple is not at all trying to address. Calls are the basic necessity of any phone. Apple always keep pushing updates and it always comes up with more new bugs. Looks like it’s time to switch to android instead of facing these issues.
