If you have an iPhone or iPad, there are a few ways to change your caller ID. This is especially important if you have a family member or friend who uses the phone for calls. To change your caller ID on an iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app and select Call Settings.
- Scroll down and select Caller ID.
- Change the name of your contact to “iPhone Caller ID” and enter their phone number into the “Phone Number” field.
- Click OK to save your changes.
When you call someone using FaceTime, your caller ID is the email or phone number that appears on their screen. If you have many email addresses associated with your Apple ID, then there’s even more chance that you’re calling people with one they don’t recognize. That could lead to calls going unanswered, or an unexpected email address being shared with someone you don’t want to have it.
Changing the caller ID that is used when you initiate a new FaceTime call is a relatively simple process, and here’s how to go about doing it.
To start, open the Settings app and tap “FaceTime.”
Note that email addresses will only appear if you are signed in with your Apple ID, so make sure you’re signed in and tap the “Use your Apple ID for FaceTime” button if not.
Next, tap the number or email address you want to use as your caller ID under the “Caller ID” section.
And that’s all there is to it. Now, when you start a new FaceTime video or voice call, the phone number or email address you just selected will be the one used as your caller ID which means it will be the one your recipient will see, too.
