FaceTime icon disappeared from my iPhone 5

The FaceTime icon disappeared from my iphone 5.  I'm not sure how long ago since I only noticed when I went to use it today.  I looked at my husband's iphone 5 and his icon is also gone.  I went to the App store to see if I could download it again, but original factory icon isn't there... just some copycats.  I went to my iphone apps thinking I could bring it down from the cloud, but it wasn't there.  My husband is able to use the computer's FaceTime and it does go to my phone, rings and I'm able to FaceTime... but I don't have the icon to initiate a call.  Any ideas on how to get the icon back?  Are things just messed up with the new update rolling out soon?  Anyone else have the same problem?  Thanks for any help.

There never was a facetime icon.  There is nothing to download nor is there any need to.  Facetime is accessed thru contacts for a person scroll to the bottom of the contact information and there you will see a facetime button.  Tap that to facetime with the contact.  You can facetime during a call as well.  Nothing is messed up.  That is the way it has always been.

    Hi, I have a verizon iphone 5 and all of a sudden I am unable to receive facetime  calls on it. When I open FT in settings, my phone number is checked in but appears in grey as opposed to the usual bold black.
    Has anybody experienced this? Thanks.

  • HT4528 My set up icon disappeared from my iphone

    My iphone setting has disappeared!

    You can not delete it. You have moved it to another page or into a folder.  Look around.
    If you still can't find it, search for it in spotlight. Start it from there, then go to Settings>General>Resets>Reset Home Page Layout.

  • FaceTime has disappeared from my iPhone. How do I get it back?

    I have tried restoring my phone to the factory settings and then restoring from a backup but it still hasn't reappeared. Any suggestions?

    Your profile says you have a 3G running 5.1.1. This is physically impossible. The 3G can only go up to 4.2.1. The 3Gs can run 5.1.1, but facetime is not available on it as it has no front facing camera.
    What exactly do you have?

  • I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings

    I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings.
    Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

    No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

  • My calendar icon has disappeared from my iphone

    My calendar icon has disappeared from my iphone home screen.  It is not in the hotspot tray either.
    Help!

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likely i a folder, or on another page.
    If you do not find it, then you can reset the home screen layout.
    This can be found in the manual.

    facetime is just disappeared from my iphone 6 can anybody help me out plz

    Where did you get the phone? FaceTime is banned in some countries in the Middle East. What had you done before it disappeared; did you possibly reset or restore the phone?
    If the above is not the issue, if you use Search by dragging down your finger from the center of the screen and you search for "Facetime" does it appear as an app? If it does, then you must have moved it into a folder or another page of the Home screen. If it is in a folder the folder name will be displayed.

    Any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them, restricted apps can't be found on any of the screens.

  • Iphone ical icon disappeared from screen-how to get it back?

    My ical icon disappeared from my main screen on my 4G iphone. I can still access the calendar by using spotlight so I know it's on the phone but how can I replace icon?

    Stock apps can't be deleted, so either its been moved to another page or placed in a folder. If you're positive you've looked on every page & in every folder and still can't see it, do this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. See if you see it now.
