You can start a FaceTime call on your iPhone and move the call to another device where you’re signed in to the same Apple Account. With Continuity Camera and Mic, you can also use iPhone as a webcam and microphone for FaceTime calls on your Mac or Apple TV 4K.
During a FaceTime call, the call can move from your iPhone to your iPad, your Mac, or Apple TV 4K. Your selected contact information for the call must match on both devices, though.
Note: The device you want to hand off to needs the same selected contact information in its FaceTime settings as your call uses, which is shown in Settings > Apps > FaceTime.
Hand off a FaceTime call from iPhone to iPad or Mac
You can hand off a FaceTime call on your iPhone to your iPad or Mac while you’re on it. This requires iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, or later, and you also need to be signed in to the same Apple Account on both devices.
- During a call in the FaceTime app on your iPhone, do one of the following on the other device:
- Tap the notification with the suggestion “Move call to this [device].”
- Tap the FaceTime video call button or the Call button at the top of the screen.
- Tap Switch or Join and tap Switch or Join to confirm.
The call moves to the new device. On the original device, a banner appears confirming that the call was continued elsewhere, along with a Switch button, which you can tap if you want to bring the call back.
Hand off a FaceTime call from your iPhone to Apple TV 4K
If both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account, you can start or receive a FaceTime call on your iPhone, then hand off the call to Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later) and its larger screen. After you hand off the call, Apple TV 4K takes it over, and your iPhone serves as a webcam and microphone for Apple TV 4K until the call ends. To use Continuity Camera with Apple TV 4K, you need iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or later, and Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later).
