iPad Listed as a Speaker Option on iPhone Calls

Maybe I’m not understanding but are you referring to accepting an incoming call on your iPad or are you referring to switching the call that you are already on to your iPad? If the call is incoming you just answer it on your iPad since it would be assumed you have the iPad as one of the devices that is listed in settings on your iPhone toggled on under “Allow Calls On”. If you’re already on the call on your iPhone but want to switch to your iPad doesn’t seem odd at all that you would need to select your iPad as the place to switch it to. Are you saying instead of showing your iPad name as an option it only shows speaker? My iPad shows as it’s name not as a speaker.

Or am I completely misunderstanding what you are referring to?

So basically you want a separate button for speaker instead of the one I pictured that is for all available audio options and you choose the one you want (in your case the speaker option). It’s not a “problem” that has existed since a certain OS 13 update but the chosen design. It seemed like you were referring to some issue that wasn’t performing correctly versus just being something you didn’t like how it worked. Since it’s been this way for years it’s safe to assume that there are no immediate plans for it to change and no way around it. The iPad isn’t listed as a speaker option (another reason why I was confused by the title of your post)….it’s listed as an audio option although I can see why the icon used would make users still think of it as the speaker phone button only. If you had any other devices connected to your iPhone (like AirPod, Apple Watch or another Bluetooth device ) they too would show so I get the logic behind listing all audio options under that button versus having separate buttons for each option. Unfortunately though the answer to your question is no…still no way to keep accept calls on iPad on but not have it listed as an audio option when you press that button unless of course your iPad isn’t nearby

No.
