Cannot call/receive phone calls on MacBook Pro via iPhone using Hotspot My MacBook Pro (2019 13" TB) and iPhone (Xr) are tuned as stated here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209456 Both devices connected via Instant Hotspot Calling on my iPhone leads only to iPhone showing incoming call. Ttrying to call from Mac shows for start calling message in progress then failure message with retry/cancel option My only guess is that Hotspot connection is not "connection to the same WiFi-network" mentioned in AppleSupport instructions (see the link above) I have no opportunity to try other WiFi than Hotspot So, dear fellows, any Help?

make and receive calls on Mac using Iphone Hello, since the update of my iPhone 7 to ios14, I have the following issue: when trying to make calls from my Mac (macOS Catalina 10.15.6) using iPhone, I get the following message: ''your iphone and mac must be on the same wi-fi network''. Of course they are on the same wifi, they are close-by and I checked all other settings suggested in the guide here. Till the update to iOS 14 it was perfectly working. What can I do on this?

For receiving calls on other devices, both the device needs to be on the same WiFi, which you are not.

Mac is connected to hotspot of iPhone SE.
iPhone SE is not connected to any WiFi.
