Let's face it, we all love our Apple ecosystem. But sometimes, that seamless integration can get a little, well, too seamless. Enter the never-ending saga of the ringing iPad. You're chilling on the couch, catching up on the latest memes (because, let's be honest, that's what iPads were built for), when suddenly your iPad transforms into a deranged disco ball of light and sound – all because your iPhone is getting a call.
Seriously, iPad, who died? Did someone accidentally call Siri "dumb assistant" again?
Fear not, fellow iFolks! There's a way to silence the iPad uprising and reclaim your peace (and maybe your dignity if you were caught scrolling through questionable TikTok trends).

The Great Disconnect: A Two-Step Tango
Here's the down-low on how to put an end to the ringing madness:
Tip: Review key points when done.
- Grab your iPhone, the hero of this story (for now). Open the Settings app, because that's where all the magic happens.
- Navigate your way to the Phone section. It might be hiding under a pile of other apps, but don't worry, just keep scrolling – think of it as an archaeological dig for digital serenity.
Now, for the grand finale:
- Find the Calls on Other Devices option. This might be the key to unlocking the silent treatment for your iPad.
- With the tap of a finger (and a silent cheer), toggle the switch to OFF. Just like that, your iPad is officially on a communication hiatus.
Congratulations! You've successfully stopped the iPad from interrupting your meme-scrolling adventures (or whatever other top-secret activities you were engaged in).
But wait, there's more!
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
Bonus Tip: For the Extra Paranoid (or Meme-Obsessed)
If you're worried your iPad might stage a silent coup and start ringing again, you can take additional measures:
- Head over to your iPad's settings app. We're going on a safari through the Settings jungle, but trust me, the peace you'll find will be worth it.
- Open the FaceTime app. Because, let's be honest, most calls come through FaceTime these days anyway.
- Look for the Calls from iPhone option. This might be the culprit trying to turn your iPad into a disco ball again.
- Just like on your iPhone, toggle the switch to OFF to silence the iPad once and for all.
Now, go forth and conquer the meme-filled world (or reply to those actual work emails you've been ignoring)!
