Macbook rings in sleep mode

Greetings anshu.lipu92,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. This sounds like you may have a Continuity feature enabled that allows calls from your iPhone to be received on your Mac. To check on the iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, and confirm if "Allow Calls on Other Devices" is set to On. You can disable this if desired. Get more info on this feature here:

Make and receive calls on your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

We hope this helps you.

Cheers!

Welcome Anshu.lipu92,

Could the Mac not be set to sleep with the lid is closed? You can check in System Preferences > Energy Saver > 'Keep your Mac from going to sleep automatically' and make sure this is not enabled: Set sleep and wake settings for your Mac - Apple Support

Then you'd need to test out a call. Let us know if that helps out.

Cheers!

"Macbook rings in sleep mode: Dear community, Of late my macbook air rings from my iPhone calls while it is in sleep mode and the lid is shut. Earlier I never faced this issue but now it feels like my whole house is ringing with a single call. Has this happened/happening to anybody? I am running the latest s/w on all my devices. Thanks in advance. Best, A."

I can say that at least on my Mac (14-inch M1 Max on Monterey), "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping while the display is off" is not checked.

But the behavior occurs whether the device is charging or not. To be more specific, if I get a call on my phone and my computer is in range and shut, my computer will ring for about 2 seconds and stop.

My theory is that since it is connected to the network, it is constantly syncing back and forth. When it detects a call on the phone, the computer wakes up and starts playing the ringtone before it realizes it is shut, at which point the ringing stops and it goes back to sleep. I confirmed this again yesterday with a call.

This feels like a bug to me. Hoping this gets resolved in Ventura.

Thanks!

I have the same issue. Now when I close my laptop, I always mute it so I am not disturbed by any phone call that comes to my nearby phone. The issue is I would like to receive phone calls on my computer, just not while it is sleeping. I would be surprised if this were intended

Having the same issue and it's driving me crazy. The most annoying part is that when I answer the call on my iPhone and tap speaker, it asks if I want to use my speaker or my MacBook even though it's closed and "sleeping."

I am facing the same issue and it is so bugging. Now I have to turn off my macbook each time so that the phone call notifications are disabled. Thus needs fixing definitely.

Same issue - clearly a bug. I didn't have this problem on my Mac air 2013 edition.

i'm running into the same issue on my macbook 14" m1 pro on monterey. it's so frustrating...

Same issue just started recently, MB pro 14”. Laptop rings when in sleep mode regardless of being closed or open. Occurs when receiving FaceTime calls as well.
