Call answered on another device

Recently, I’m not being notified by some calls. It seems to be hit and miss when this happens.


The screen flashes on and then off again, but no sound and no “missed call” notification. When I look in the call log it just says “Call answered on another device”. The calls are not coming on my watch or mac. I’ve already checked the “Calls from other devices” setting and this is OFF.


these are NORMAL calls - not FaceTime

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Where you’ll see your notifications

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch.

 

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode.

 

Some apps, such as the Noise app, are only on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps don't appear on your iPhone.
