In this article we let you know How to Change FaceTime Caller ID on iPhone and iPad in iOS 15. When you make a FaceTime call on an iPhone or iPad, the recipient sees your caller ID. This ID may be your phone number or an email address connected with your device, but if it is not one they have registered as a contact, they will not recognise you.
It's critical to ensure that your caller ID is right for this reason. Otherwise, your FaceTime calls may go unanswered. So, what if you want to alter the caller ID for FaceTime on your iPhone or iPad in iOS 15? As it turns out, this is rather simple, as we will demonstrate.
By default, your FaceTime caller ID is likely to be your email address. That is acceptable provided everyone you call has stored that email address in their Contacts app. However, they are more likely to have your phone number preserved, which makes this a better decision in this case.
Fortunately, updating your FaceTime caller ID is quite straightforward and requires only a simple decision in the Settings app.
How to Change the Caller ID on FaceTime on iPhone and iPad in iOS 15
This changes the caller ID for outbound FaceTime calls. You may select phone numbers or email addresses connected with your Apple ID and FaceTime:
- To begin, open your iPhone or iPad's Settings app and tap "FaceTime."
- Select the desired caller ID.
- If you're unable to locate an email address, press "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime" and any connected with that account will display. After that, you may choose it normally.
- You may now exit the Settings app and make FaceTime calls, secure in the knowledge that everyone you call will know who you are.
This is especially useful if you previously configured FaceTime with another email address and now prefer to use a different one, or if you wish to move from a phone number or email address to a new one as the FaceTime caller ID.
If the person with whom you are FaceTiming has your phone and email information recorded in their contact information for you, altering this FaceTime caller ID may not affect them, but it may affect others, especially if they do not have all of your email addresses or phone numbers stored.
Additionally, you may add new email addresses to FaceTime if necessary, and don't forget that you can use your iPad to make and receive phone calls if necessary.
FaceTime is also not limited to video calls. It's excellent at handling audio calls for those occasions when your carrier refuses to stop dropping calls, you're in a location with limited service, or you simply want to make a VOIP connection for whatever reason.
While we're on the subject of FaceTime, a little-known feature is the ability to have group video conversations with up to 32 people. If you're used to another option, why not give FaceTime with group chat a try instead?
Do you use FaceTime for video and audio conferencing? Are you using your Apple ID, a phone number, or something else as your default caller ID on FaceTime? As always, if you have any ideas, recommendations, or experiences with FaceTime and caller ID, please share them with us in the comments!
