With group Facetime, up to 32 people can participate in the video or audio chat. The service recently had to be temporarily shut down due to a serious bug.
Group Facetime was introduced with iOS 12.1. To use the service, the iPhone must have at least an A9 chip (iPhone SE, iPhone 6S & iPhone 6S Plus and above). In general, the service cannot be used on an iPhone or iPad without iOS 12.1.4 or later. The reason for this is a heavy bow, which was recently fixed. This made it possible to listen to contacts. Now, despite the iOS 12.1.4 security update, some users seem to be having problems with Apple's video chat service. According to the report, there is a problem that prevents users from adding more contacts. Strictly speaking, the field for this command cannot be tapped. What triggers the problem is not yet known. However, a server-side error is suspected, as this is also the case in the current iOS 12.2 Beta occurs. Despite many complaints, the number of people affected remains unknown for the time being. It remains to be seen when and how Apple will fix the error.
