In the new version of the iOS 8 mobile system, it became possible to receive calls not only on your iPhone, but also on other Apple devices, including the iPad. Moreover, the function is enabled by default. But not all users need such an opportunity. If you do not want to receive calls on your tablet, we will tell you how to turn it off.

There can be any number of situations in which this function can become a problem. For example, you are waiting for a call, and your child is playing on the tablet and can take it for you.

Turning off the reception of calls on the tablet can be quite simple:

1. On iPad, go to Settings.

2. Go to the FaceTime section.
3. Deactivate the switch next to iPhone Cellular Calls.

Likewise, you can reactivate this function if the need arises. In addition to the iPad, incoming calls can also be received by iPod touch, and even non-mobile devices such as Mac computers.

Separately, we note that calls will be sent to all devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network and with the same Apple ID.

Usually a large family has a common account for simplicity. When you used to set up synchronized reception of calls for any iOS devices for convenience, then do not be surprised if all devices ring at the same time with an incoming call. Therefore, it is quite a common problem for many users when several people simultaneously use iPad, iPhone and a computer that are connected through a common Apple ID.

Sometimes this function is quite convenient. For example, you use an iPad with headphones and can miss an incoming call for an iPhone, but if your iPad or Mac is connected to a phone number, you will also receive an incoming call directly on the iPad and, using the "FaceTime" option, you can take the call.

Many people ask the question: how can you turn off calls on the iPad, for example, when you are watching a movie or sleeping. For example, you can hear a simultaneous call for both iPad and iPhone, so you can't immediately figure out where the call is coming from. Since the incoming call is synchronized simultaneously with both devices, the sound is accordingly amplified two times. Therefore, having synchronous connections is often inconvenient and not always safe.

In order to turn off incoming iPad calls, you need to open the "FaceTime" video call option in the "Settings" section and turn off the function activity slider in the "iPhone Cellular Calls" subsection. In this case, the Wi-Fi connection must be activated on the iPad, iPhone or other device. In addition, all synchronized devices must be connected to the same Internet network with WI-FI enabled.

Deactivating Handoff Messages

The same popular way is to disable the “Handoff “That enables devices to work together from different locations. The Handoff function is tightly coupled with iOS devices. If the iPhone or iPad with iOS 8 is located near the Mac, then this function helps to start any action on the iPhone, and end it on the iPad.

If your iPad is configured with call forwarding, then duplicate calls will receive the same messages for all devices at the same time. To turn off the receipt of messages on the iPad, go to the "Settings" menu and open the "Messages" section, where turn off the "Message forwarding" function.

Reset

If you want to reset all settings from the iPad, then activate the "Settings" menu, select the "General" section and enable the "Reset" option. All previously configured calls and features will be cleared, after which you can re-configure the desired features.

In addition, duplicate calls may stop if you change the WI-FI network or install a new iOS firmware for your iPad.

How to turn off iPad calls from iPhone

In order to disable duplicate calls to the iPad, you can do this directly from your iPhone, where the SIM card is installed. To do this, open the iPhone Settings menu and open the Phone subsection, and then go to the On Other Devices option.

Next, select the smartphone option "Allow calls on devices" and turn off all connected devices that you no longer need: iPad, Mac or laptop. If you want to leave some iOS devices for a duplicate call, you do not have to disconnect them. Disabling is done by dragging the activity slider to passive state. Now, incoming calls to the iPhone will not be duplicated on other devices with a common ID.
