You Can Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify, to Fix FaceTime Dropping Calls
FaceTime tends to drop a call at the moment your iPhone or iPad changes internet connection – leaving the house, reaching the edge of the Wi-Fi, or moving between cell towers. The device stays online, but FaceTime cannot bridge the gap where no data arrives.
Speedify is an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that uses Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular data together, plus wired Ethernet or Starlink on a computer. Details below cover Apple’s own requirements for FaceTime group calls, the usual reasons FaceTime calls fail, and what using Speedify gives you: FaceTime calls that last.
Speedify keeps your call running when the connection under it fails.
Zoom, Teams, and Meet all end the call when the connection goes, and rejoining costs you the thread of the meeting. Speedify bonds your Wi-Fi with any second connection, often 4G/5G cellular, and hands the call over mid-session. Nobody has to rejoin.
Fixing FaceTime When it Keeps Dropping
Before engaging in time consuming troubleshooting, make sure all participants in the FaceTime group call meet these requirements:
- running iOS 12.1 or newer;
- supported devices: iPhone 6s or later, iPad Pro or later, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 4;
- located in countries, regions or running on carriers that support FaceTime calling;
- call forwarding is off;
- there’s at least one Internet connection active – WiFi or 4G / LTE.
If all of the above are OK and FaceTime keeps dropping still, then try the following:
- Make sure “use cellular data” is on for FaceTime, if you’re using it over mobile data.
- Is FaceTime on? (Settings > FaceTime) You may need to turn it off and then on again.
- Restart your device.
- Update to the latest available version of iOS.
Why Doesn’t FaceTime Work When Making Calls?
When you’re on a FaceTime call, it requires a good amount of bandwidth from your Internet connection to work properly, so when determining why your FaceTime loses connection, you should look at your Internet connection.
It might be that your Internet connection is too slow and doesn’t have enough bandwidth for video streaming, or that the connection is flaky and experiencing excessive packet loss. What’s worse, is that both of these issues are often amplified when you are on the move since mobile devices can not easily transition between different Wi-Fi networks or cell towers without interrupting apps and dropping calls, such as the ones from FaceTime.
Regardless of the root cause, by default iPhones and iPads are designed to only use one Internet connection at a time, despite the fact that they are often connected to both Wi-Fi and mobile data. But, what if you could use BOTH connections for their combined speed and reliability?
Speedify Fixes FaceTime Disconnects and Gives You Uninterrupted Video Calls
Speedify is a secure and fast bonding VPN that changes the way your iPhone connects to the Internet. Instead of just using one connection, Speedify allows your mobile device to connect to the Internet over both Wi-Fi and mobile data simultaneously. This instantly increases your connection bandwidth and reliability and provides a better and uninterrupted FaceTime calls so you won’t experience the slightest “hiccup” (buffering) or disconnect issues.
Speedify also monitors the quality of your Internet connections. When it detects that a signal is weak or that the network is too slow, it will automatically and seamlessly reroute the data through the other working connection. Best of all, when the other connection is back online and reliable, it begins using it again – automatically and in the background. Say goodbye to FaceTime dropping calls!
