If you are a user of several Apple devices, you definitely have to deal with this more than once. And it turns out that by default, when we have an example Mac and iPhone, or iPad and iPhone, or all 3 (and even 4 if we have an Apple Watch), every time we got a call on our iPhone and the others nearby all started yelling in one voice, and they keep ringing for a few seconds when we answer the phone, which is very annoying.
To fix this there is a simple google on our devices, the slide button responsible for turning off the fact that each time we receive a call it is repeated on each of our devices, and we ended up crazy every time they called us. If you are instead a user of this service, there is also an opportunity to limit which devices are heard, so you don't have your iPad, Mac and iPhone ringing at the same time.
Join me in this lesson to learn how to handle this annoying task and not get mad every time you receive a call.
Protect your iPad and Mac from ringing every time your iPhone is called
As we mentioned, there is a slide button that will make your calls heard on the iPhone only if you have other devices nearby. Just turn it off and other devices will stop ringing and get a call, and these will only be seen on the iPhone. Follow these steps to do it:
-
1- Open "Settings" on your device.
-
2nd- Go to selection "Phone".
-
3º- Select "Calls to other devices".
-
4º- Slide the first option button on the display "Allow on other devices".

That is how a simple problem is solved. If you live with several people using the Apple ecosystem, our advice is to share this with them, so cacophonous calls are a problem of the past.
Place incoming calls on only one device
This function may be useful for you, because of your workflow, because you spend too much time in front of your computer screen, or because you are used to it. In any case you don't want all your devices to ring though you may be interested in the fact that the phone only runs on an iPad or Mac
Make your Mac stop receiving calls
-
1- Open the app "Face Time" on your Mac.
-
2nd- For an open app go to "Face Time" in the menu bar, click "Preferences".
-
3º- Do not select the option "Calls from iPhone".
From here again you can choose to choose other options such as calling your video calls can take a live screenshot While video chat, the best option is to take care of our privacy.
Make your iPad stop receiving calls
-
1- Open "Settings" on your device.
-
2nd- Go to selection "Face Time".
-
3º- Slide the say button "Calls from iPhone".
As you can see the process is very similar to that of the iPhone.
In the same way that you can work incoming calls from iPad and Mac, and from the iPhone we can s ort through the devices we want to ring or not
In this case, starting with the menu we were in when we left calls on other devices from the iPhone, leaving this option activated, below we will find a list with other devices associated with our Apple ID. Each has a slide button, just look for which ones you want to sound and do not leave without pressing. This way you can easily edit which device you want to sound or not in the event that at one time allows you to sound one or the other.
Apple's natural claim is designed to work in one way in many ways, and the bottom line of all is the continuous seamless integration between your devices, sometimes this can be pointless. With these situations, you now know how to solve at least one annoying task.
