iPad / MacBook ringing when my iPhone receives a call I really enjoy the “handoff” feature of the iOS ecosystem. I find myself using the ability to switch a call from my iPhone to my iPad or MacBook fairly frequently. However, I haven’t been able to find a way to disable having EVERY APPLE DEVICE RING when I get a phone call. In my iPad settings I have ALL phone notifications fully turned off, and I have Do Not Disturb enabled always - same as my MacBook. I only want notifications to come through on my phone. So realistically- this means I shouldn’t get notifications on those devices right? When I receive a phone call, my iPhone, watch, iPad, and MacBook ALL start ringing almost simultaneously (slight delays between them) and it is absolutely OBNOXIOUS. I cannot fathom there not being a real option to disable this without having to fully disable call/hand-off ability between devices - which is the only solution I’ve found online thus-far. Hopefully I’m just missing something super obvious.

Notifications for missed calls not appearing in iPhone post iOS 18 update After upgrading to ios 18 I found that the missed calls simply do not appear as a notification. Is there any explanation and solution for this problem? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Your device will require a connection to the network (Wi-Fi or Cellular) to be able to receive notifications. The notification signal cannot reach your iPhone if it is OFF or in the Airplane mode (with Wi-Fi and Cellular turned OFF). This is the reason why your iPhone will not be able to notify you when it is OFF.

On the other hand, once your iPhone is turned ON and connected to either Wi-Fi or a cellular network, then you should be able to get all the notifications that were held back while it was OFF.
