How to make phone calls on a Mac - 9to5Mac

Follow along for how to make phone calls on a Mac.

It’s been possible to make phone calls on Mac (via iPhone) for some time, but it’s not an obvious feature since there’s no Phone app on Mac.

Note that you can take incoming calls on iPad or Mac but that on iPad, if you place a call, it will transfer it to iPhone.

A couple of reasons it can be handy to use your Mac for phone calls is if you’re already using AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones with your Mac, or your iPhone isn’t within reach.

Before trying to place a call, make sure “Calls on Other Devices” is enabled.

On your iPhone, head to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices and make sure your Mac is toggled on.
