Making a call with your Apple device is a breeze, whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. In this guide, we will show you how to make a call using different Apple products, so you never have to worry about missing an important conversation.
If you are using an iPhone, simply open the Phone app, which is usually located on the home screen. You can choose a contact from your address book by tapping on the contact icon or use the keypad to dial the number manually. Press the green call button, and you're on your way to making that call! Once you're done, you can end the call by tapping the red end call button.
For those of you who prefer using an iPad or a Mac to make calls, you can do so through the Continuity feature. Make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account on both devices and that they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. On your iPad, go to Settings > FaceTime and toggle on the switch beside “Calls from iPhone.” This will allow your iPad to make and receive calls using your iPhone's cellular connection.
Similarly, on your Mac, go to FaceTime > Preferences and check the box beside “Calls from iPhone.” This will enable your Mac to use your iPhone for calls. When you receive a call on your iPhone, you will see an option to answer the call on your iPad or Mac, and vice versa. You can also initiate calls directly from the Contacts app on your Mac.
If you have an Apple Watch, making a call is as easy as raising your wrist and saying “Hey Siri, call [contact name].” You can also make a call directly from the Phone app on your watch by selecting a contact or dialing a number.
Need to make an emergency call quickly? You can do this even if your iPhone is locked. Simply press the side button five times quickly, and the Emergency SOS slider will appear. Slide the slider to make the call.
For those times when you want to call someone on a video call, FaceTime is the way to go. Simply open the FaceTime app, search for the contact you want to call, and tap the video icon to start a FaceTime call. You can enjoy high-quality video calls with your friends and family using FaceTime on your Apple devices.
Now that you know how to make calls on your Apple devices, you can stay connected with your loved ones anytime, anywhere. Whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch, making a call is just a tap or a voice command away. So go ahead, reach out and make that call!
