Make FaceTime work for you on iPad

Take a look at the FaceTime settings and ensure

everything is set up as it should be

4

Connect your headphones

You’ll need to make sure your compatible

headphones are connected to your iPad via

Bluetooth. Go to Bluetooth, turn it on, and tap

your headphones in the device list.

5

Receive a call

When someone calls you on your iPad

using Apple’s FaceTime, a prompt will appear

on the screen as usual. You will also hear the

call announced via your headphones.

6

Answer or decline

When Siri asks if you want to accept the

incoming call, you only need say “answer” or

“decline” – there’s no need to say “Hey Siri”.

The call will be connected or rejected.

Activate FaceTime

You won’t be receiving any FaceTime

calls at all unless this button is toggled

to green, so make sure it’s activated.

Receivecalls

Turn on ‘Calls From iPhone’ if

you want to take calls on your

iPad. If you don’t do this then

calls will be transferred to

your tablet from your nearby

Wi-Fi-enabled iPhone.

Allowing access

Here, you can determine how

you want FaceTime callsto be

announced. You can also tell

iPadOS how those calls show

on the screen – whether as a

banner or full-screen.

Which headphones

can I use?

Siri can only be used to answer calls

if you have compatible wireless

headphones. Unfortunately, the first

generation of AirPods won’t cut it, but

the second generation ones will work

just fine. You can also use AirPods Pro,

AirPodsMax, Powerbeats, Powerbeats

Pro and Beats Solo Pro – essentially

most headphones that Apple has had

a hand in manufacturing.

Knowledge base

Respond with

a text

Set up text messages to

be sent if you can’t accept

a call. You can enter up to

three messages, but they can

only be sent by touching the

Message icon when a call is

incoming – there’s no voice

command option for this.
