How to Fix FaceTime Stuck on “Connecting” with Speedify

You Can Join Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify, to Fix FaceTime Stuck on Connecting

Tapping a FaceTime call and then watching the screen sit on “Connecting” happens when your iPhone or Mac has a signal but not a usable one: the two devices cannot get enough data through to each other to agree on a call, so nothing happens until the request times out.

Speedify is an app that joins your Wi-Fi and your 4G/5G cellular into one internet connection your iPhone, iPad or Mac uses at the same time, so a weak home signal is no longer the only path a FaceTime call has. Speedify can only keep you online through a drop when it has two or more internet connections to work with, for example Wi-Fi plus your phone’s 4G/5G cellular. On a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping. What follows explains why FaceTime hangs on connecting, and how using Speedify gets the call to open.

Speedify keeps your call running when the connection under it fails.

What Causes FaceTime to Get Stuck Connecting?

The reason your Facetime app is slow and gets stuck is not because of the app itself. It is almost always a connection related issue. Your device only uses one internet connection at a time. Streaming video and video chat uses up a lot of bandwidth. If there are any issues with the one connection your device is utilizing, you will experience lag. The FaceTime app can’t send and receive data fast enough to keep up with the demands you are placing on it.

Run the quick checks first: look at Apple’s System Status page for a FaceTime outage, make sure both devices have the latest iOS or macOS update, and turn FaceTime off and on again in Settings. If calls still sit on Connecting, the internet connection is the weak point.

Speedify optimizes the way your device transmits data.

Get FaceTime Unstuck With Speedify

Speedify is an app that combines internet connections and changes the way your computer or mobile device connects to the Internet. Speedify can combine 2 or more connections at the same time instead of just using one connection, which adds bandwidth and reliability for a better FaceTime experience.

Speedify also monitors the quality of your Internet connections. When it detects that a signal is weak or that the network is too slow (remember public WiFi?), Speedify will automatically reroute the data through the other working connection(s) in milliseconds and keep the same public IP address. When the “original” connection is back online and reliable, Speedify begins using it again automatically.

Speedify Also Encrypts Your Connection

Speedify does more than just manage your Internet connections: Speedify also encrypts all of the data you send and receive from your device, like a VPN. This helps keep your private information and conversations secure from digital eavesdroppers.
