Anyone know whats happened to the face time icon?

Facetime icon appears to have disappeared?
Yes you can click on contacts and do it that way.
Have Apple decided thats what you do now or am I just not seeing it?
Could be an age thing by the way. Not as young as I used to be.....

Apple changed it back to what it looked like when it first released

How do I work FaceTime without the app? Why is it on other Apple products I own? It was on my apple air as of Saturday. Today it's gone. I couldn't get FaceTime to work with email anymore. It asks for a phone number. Doesn't that defeat FaceTime on the air ipad?

The FaceTime app is one of the stock apps on the iPad and can't be deleted; it can be hidden, though. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime to check if it's been turned off. If so, turn it back on.

Yep2, you can't delete facetime. It wont be an apple device without iMessage and Facetime right? hihihi

That is exactly how I felt. I don't believe I went in and touched it to turn off, as until scifan57 showed me where to look, I had not seen it before.

I have another older iPad that I let my Dad use and my Facetime is on that as well. I added his email on his iPad and unchecked my email on his iPad. Could this cause apple to change the FaceTime on since I got a message from apple saying that this (dad used) iPad now is on FaceTime? We are in the same house. I didn't get Dad his own apple id because he doesn't want to learn how to use anything more than nextissue. Someone wanted to reach him, but when I tried to use FaceTime it just kept trying to make it an iMessage. Any thoughts?
