why does Facetime Icon have a phone on it macOS 10.15.5

Why does the FaceTime icon on my iMac suddenly have a phone on the icon I am not on the phone/ this just appear today.

There are no missed/or all in the calls pain.


Oh Wait, here on the topic page I see a phone on the FACETIME icon, but this icon is different the on my iOS iPhone xR


any ideas why, or has it always been that way and I never noticed it, which may be possible cause I never use face time.

Hello jojoguitar,


Thank you for contacting the Apple Support Community! I see you have a question regarding your FaceTime App on your Mac.


The icon for the FaceTime App on your Mac looks that way as it indicates that you can make FaceTime application and cellular calls from your Mac, these articles will give you more information about this.

Use FaceTime on your Mac.

Make and receive calls on your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch.


Take Care!
