How to answer calls to your iPhone on macOS Monterey and iPadOS 15

Thanks to Apple's Continuity, users can easily make and receive cellular phone calls on Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Here's how to do it.

There are plenty of reasons that you'd want to use your iPad or Mac for a cellular call — though most likely, it's because that is the device closest to you when you receive a call. Fortunately, Apple allows you to make and receive cellular calls with your Mac, iPad, and even your iPod touch, should you be so inclined.

It takes a couple of minutes to set everything up, so we suggest gathering all your devices, including your iPhone, together before you start.

Important factors to double check before you begin:

• Each device must have Wi-Fi turned on
• Each device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network
• Each device is signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID
• Each device is signed into FaceTime with the same Apple ID

If these criteria are met, then you can follow the steps below to enable calls on your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch.

The absolute first step in the process is to enable the feature on your iPhone, allowing your other devices to receive calls.

3. Tap Calls on Other Devices
4. Toggle on Allow Calls on Other Devices
