I sometimes use my Google Phone via my Mac, but only on Chrome. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make the Apple Phone my default dialer for anything. I mean, even if I go into my apple app in OS26 when I try and dial it opens Chrome and will not dial from the Apple App.
How do I fix this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0
For iPhone and iPad: Change your default apps for features on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
For Mac: open FaceTime app > FaceTine > Preferences > Settings > Default for Calls [whatever]
"For Mac: open FaceTime app > FaceTine > Preferences > Settings > Default for Calls [whatever]". This option is no longer available in Tahoe. So far I haven't found a way to turn around this problem...
Yea, I updated to Tahoe and there is no longer a "Default for Calls" setting.
I have removed Chrome from my computer, emptied the trash and searched for the Chrome Installer (none).
When I try to make a call from my Mac phone app if it is to a number in my recent calls list, it works. If I try use the dialer it tries to download Google Chrome. If someone calls my mobile, my Mac rings. FaceTime works as it should. Basically, everything works as it should except trying to use the number key pad. That opens Chrome and when Chrome is not available, it installs Chrome?
Looks like it’s in the Phone app on macOS 26:
No Tahoe handy here to check right now, though.
