InCallService

My daughters iPad screen time says she’s using InCallService a lot. What exactly is that?

Okay, you guys have it all wrong. InCallService is not a dodgy app, you don't need a serious conversation with your daughter. InCallService is definitely developed by Apple because.. recently on iOS there have been glitches/bugs where InCallService is not showing up properly in settings and not displaying its correct name or icon. InCallService is FaceTime. Facetime. The Apple internal call service which your ten year old daughter uses. It's just a bug that its software code name is being displayed instead of FaceTime.

Go out to any web browser and simply type incall service. Then have a conversation with your daughter.


Now, I did find this, but it appears to be for Android devices and is a calling service: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/InCallService


There's another meaning of incall services, which is what I found initially. Think of person who provides adult services incall.


Instead of trying to guess, your daughter is 10 years old. The two of you need to have a conversation and you have the right to know exactly what she's doing.
