Receive FaceTime calls on iPad

Answer a FaceTime call

When a FaceTime call comes in, do any of the following:

  • Take the call: Drag the slider or tap Accept or Join.

  • Decline the call: Tap Decline or the Leave Call button.

  • Set a reminder to call back: Tap Remind Me.

  • Send a message to the caller: Tap Message.

If you’re on another call when a FaceTime call comes in, instead of Accept, you see the End & Accept option, which terminates the previous call and connects you to the incoming call.

Tip: You can have Siri announce incoming calls, which you can accept or decline using your voice.

Listen to a video or audio message

If you miss an incoming video call from a known contact and the caller leaves a video message, you receive a notification about the video message, which you can tap to view. You can also find a link to the video in your call history, below the missed call.

If you miss an incoming audio call, and you have Live Voicemail turned on in Settings  > Phone on your iPhone that’s signed into FaceTime with the same Apple ID as your iPad, the caller is prompted to leave a voicemail.

Note: You can receive video messages only from saved contacts, people you’ve called, and people suggested by Siri.

After the caller leaves a video message, a link to it appears in your FaceTime call history, just below their call.

The call history, showing links to a recorded video message and a voicemail.

Delete a call from your call history

Open the FaceTime app , swipe left over the call in your call history, then tap the Delete button.
