If you have an iPhone or an iPad you’ve definitely had some “FaceTime” with your family or friends. It is a very good service used for video chat. But sometimes FaceTime loses connection, you’ll see the app dropping the Wi-Fi connection or connecting and failing at that.

The reason for FaceTime dropping calls is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. You can solve FaceTime issues by joining your main Internet connection with another Internet source like a Starlink or DSL, 4G, 5G. Whether at home, work, or on-the-go, Speedify works with all live streaming software and social platforms to get you faster, more reliable and secure Internet.

In this article we'll show you how you can avoid FaceTime dropping calls to be able to enjoy video calls without any issues.

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.

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 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!

In addition to delivering a faster Internet experience to your mobile device, Speedify uses cutting-edge technology to quickly encrypt all the data sent to and from your device. Speedify keeps you safe from compromised Wi-Fi networks, snooping ISPs, and other threats and was designed to have zero impact on your iPhone’s battery life. It is also smart enough to try and send as much data as possible through Wi-Fi instead of over more expensive mobile data connections – saving you from potential overage fees from your carrier!
