I'm not able to use FaceTime and iMessages after iPhone number update

I updated my phone number, however I'm not able to FaceTime, and my iMessages only go out through my Apple ID instead of my phone number. I'm not able to select my FaceTime to be used with my phone number

See if anything here helps.


Messages or FaceTime - Add or remove your phone number


You need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. You may have to add the new number before you can remove the old number. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
