3 Fixes for FaceTime Screen Sharing Not Working on iPhone

Basic Fixes

• Switch to 5G or Wi-Fi: The ability to share the screen of your iPhone during a FaceTime call depends a lot on your internet speed.
• Force quit and relaunch FaceTime: This will give the app a fresh start on your iPhone.
• Update or reinstall FaceTime: To do this, you need to update the software version of your iPhone.

Fix 1: Enable SharePlay For FaceTime

When you talk about FaceTime screen sharing, you are referring to the SharePlay feature. Here’s how to enable it.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on FaceTime and then select SharePlay.

Step 3: Tap the toggle next to SharePlay to enable the feature.

Fix 2: Disable and Enable FaceTime Again

If you still face the issue, you can enable the FaceTime feature again on your iPhone. This is just like using Airplane Mode to reset your iPhone’s wireless network connections. When you re-enable FaceTime, all your data will be downloaded on your iPhone. Here’s how.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Scroll down and then tap on FaceTime.

Step 3: Tap the toggle next to FaceTime to disable the feature.

Step 4: Wait for some time and then tap the toggle again to enable the feature.

Fix 3: Reset All Settings

If none of the solutions have worked, we suggest resetting all iPhone settings. This will restore all features to default.

Open Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings.
