With the introduction of the Phone app on macOS, you can now take and place calls directly from your Mac. The macOS Phone app takes many of the cues from the updated iOS Phone app. The new Unified view is recreated on the bigger screen, with the default appearance being a list of recent calls and favorite callers on the top. These all take advantage of contact photos and posters, if other contacts have employed them. Selecting a recent call will bring up a larger version of the contact poster, along with more information about that person. There’s also an option to Manage Filtering, which on an iPhone would bring up the Settings app with options on how to handle unknown or spam callers. An Edit button lets you change your Favorites list or to select multiple logs in a list for mass deletion. The onboard voicemail function of the iPhone is also accessible from the macOS Phone app. If there is a voicemail recording and transcript available on the connected iPhone, these can be heard and read from the Mac directly. When you place a call by pressing the relevant icon or using the on-screen keypad, or receive a call, a box will appear in the top right corner of your Mac’s display. The buttons on the box offer extra features, including a compact keypad for menu systems. One brings up options for enabling Call Recording, Live Translation, Hold Assist, and Screen Sharing.
