Juggle calls. FaceTime calls aren’t forwarded. If another call comes in while you’re on a FaceTime
call, you can either end the rst call and answer the incoming call, decline the incoming call, or
reply with a text message. You can use call waiting with FaceTime audio calls only.
Use call waiting for audio calls. If you’re on a FaceTime audio call and another call comes in—
either a phone call or another FaceTime audio call—you can decline the call, end the rst call
and accept the new one, or put the rst call on hold and respond to the new call.
Add multiple callers. While on a FaceTime audio call or a phone call, you can add another person
to the conversation. Put the rst call on hold, then tap to add another FaceTime audio or
phone call.
Block unwanted callers. Go to Settings > FaceTime > Blocked > Add New. You won’t receive
voice calls, FaceTime calls, or text messages from blocked callers. For more information about
blocking calls, see support.apple.com/kb/HT5845.
Other options in Settings let you turn FaceTime on or o, specify a phone number, Apple ID, or
email address to use with FaceTime, and set your caller ID.
