Hmm. Apple has this thing nowadays where when your phone rings, you can answer it on other Apple devices connected to the same network. Because of this, whenever I get a phone call at home, I hear up to four rings at once: the phone, two tablets, and the computer. It’s a cacaphony. And it doesn’t stop until a moment after I’ve picked up the phone and answered it, or sent it to voice mail.
To be honest, the only person I ever really cared enough to answer the phone for is my mom. Now that she’s gone there is basically nobody who is important enough to stop drawing to talk to. I think it’s time to turn off this kinda-interesting feature. Or at least make it stop making so much noise.
Annoyingly enough, I can’t tell the FaceTime app on the tablets to stop making noise but still pop up a notification. Guess I’ll have to record a few seconds of silence to trick it.
Oh. wait. I bet someone’s already done this.
Another way to disable this behavior is to enable Wi-Fi calling, because those features are mutually exclusive. And Wi-Fi calling is the more useful of the two, IMO.
I think I’m probably gonna stick to ‘silent ring everywhere but phone’. That way if I’m in the back with the tablet I can see who’s calling and maybe answer it. If I want to. Which I probably don’t.
