How To Stop Mac And iPad From Ringing When You Receive A Phone Call

If you own multiple Apple devices, then you would be aware of the feature that lets you receive phone calls coming on your iPhone on your iPad and Mac.

When you receive a phone call your Mac, iPad and iPhone ring at the same time provided you are nearby your other devices.

While this is a handy feature that lets you receive calls and talk to people without even touching your iPhone, it can also be annoying when all of these devices ring at the same time.
