Facetime calls appearing on MacBook but not iPhone I've had an issue for a while where my MacBook will say I am receiving a Facetime call from someone and on my phone that call does not appear in my logs at all. Sometimes this happens the moment I boot up my MacBook, other times it happens (like today) multiple times. The last time I answered one of these it essentially made me call the person when they did not call me. My MacBook's Facetime logs says there was a call during the time I got called but that call is nowhere to be found in either the phone app or the Facetime app of my phone.

Calls default to Facetime I have a contact with one cell phone number saved in my contacts as a "mobile" and not "iPhone". When I press call, it defaults to Facetime I have other contacts with multiple numbers. One is saved as "iPhone" and the other number is saved as "mobile". When I press call for this contact, it gives me the option to pick which phone number to call, "mobile", "iPhone", or "Facetime". If I click one of the phone numbers, it calls that number. Why does someone with only one number in my contacts default to Facetime? I tried turning off Facetime but that creates a whole other set of issues. I don't want to Facetime = EVER!

FaceTime not switching from email to phone number on iPhone I have been having people FaceTime me but i am not getting the calls because my receiver is set to my email. When i go into settings to switch from my email to my number and I select my number, it has a loading sign next to the number option that doesn’t stop. How do i get it to change?

Hello User44654D,

It may be worth going through Safety Check under Privacy & Security within the Settings app. Revoke access to people and apps that have permissions to certain documents / iOS features you no longer want them to have. Step 3 will be the most interesting. This is where you can see all devices logged into your Apple ID. Please select any and all devices you do not recognize and remove them. This will log them out of your Apple ID.

I'd also recommend changing your Apple ID password and device passcodes.
