IPhone – Continue call on FaceTime in MacBook

facetimeiphonemacbook pro

When I make a call through FaceTime in my MacBook, I can switch to my iPhone and continue the call from there by just clicking on the top green bar that appears with the caller name. But can I do the opposite and switch back to my MacBook?

What I'm looking forward to understand is, how can I:

  1. Start a call from FaceTime in my MacBook
  2. Pickup the call in my iPhone
  3. And then pickup again in my MacBook

You should be able to transfer an ongoing call over FaceTime from your iPhone to your MacBook. Let's double-check that you have things set up correctly.

Obviously, you'll need to use the same Apple ID on both devices and, based on your description, I assume you've got this all set. Now make sure you do the following:

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings
  2. Swipe up and tap on FaceTime
  3. Now check what options you have listed/ticked for where you can be reached by FaceTime.
  4. Make sure the Apple ID / iCloud account you've used on your MacBook for FaceTime is listed and ticked:
    • If it's not listed, tap on Add an Email... to add it
    • If it is listed but not ticked, then tap on it to enable it
  5. Exit Settings

This should rectify the issue.

Let me know how you go.
