iPhone FaceTime phone number activation stuck loading

Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account.


  • i have solved this using the following step
    1. Link Your Phone Number: On your iPhone, go to Settings > FaceTime and look at the "You Can Be Reached By FaceTime At" section. Ensure your actual phone number is checked, not just your email address.

when i select my phone number under FaceTime - you can be reached by FaceTime at, the loading sign beside my number keep loading? Solved by:

      • Go to Settings > Apps > FaceTime and toggle FaceTime OFF.
      • Go back, tap Messages, and toggle iMessage OFF.
      • Restart your iPhone completely.
