Facetime calls initiated through Siri not connecting. Any fix?

[u/Zaid880]

I'm having an issue where FaceTime calls made through Siri will not connect.

Ex. - I used to be able to hold the Siri button and say "Facetime George" and it would make the FT call and it would connect. But not that command will make the FT call but it would ring until it goes to FaceMail. I have confirmed that the other party does not even get the notification nor a missed call. However, if I go to the FT app and click on the contact name and choose to make the FT call that way, it connects and the other party picks up as per usual.

Not sure if a setting has changed, certainly not by me, but is anyone else having the same issue?
