Speaker Button

I just bought an iPad. I want to receive calls on it. But when I answer my iPhone I want to push the speaker button & start talking. Instead the speaker button does not operate. I have to het options such as answering my iPad. I don’t want to answer my iPad when answering my phone. It makes no sense to me, why the speaker button does not stay connected when I push it

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello Gumper23, 

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. 


One option could be to disable calls on your iPad until you are ready to make a call with that device. You can manage this setting on your iPhone and iPad:


  • On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.


  • On your iPad, go to Settings > FaceTime > Calls from iPhone, then turn on Calls from iPhone.


You can also Route and automatically answer calls on iPhone. To set your iPhone speaker as the default audio output, go to: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing, then choose an audio destination.


Please reply back if you need more help.

Cheers!
