Details

The BT Cloud Work Mobile app includes a capability provided by Apple – CallKit, which gives the BT Cloud Work app more control of the mobile device when in a call, and allows the User to answer calls more easily when the device is locked. CallKit allows an ongoing BT Cloud Work call to remain active even if a second call comes to your mobile number while using the BT Cloud Phone app.

The BT Cloud Work Integrated Calling feature makes it possible for an iOS device User to manage multiple calls without unlocking the screen, and without losing an ongoing call or an incoming call. A User can simply manage the feature by either enabling or disabling the Integrated Calling feature on your BT Cloud Work Mobile app settings.

With BT Cloud Work Mobile app version 8.3 and above, iOS device Users are provided with a better call experience – an incoming screen appears, allowing them to interact with the call with 1-touch, either from a locked screen or when engaged in an active BT Cloud Work call.

Managing Integrated Calling via the Mobile app Call Settings

Users who don't want their BT Cloud Work calls to appear on their phone's call log may disable Integrated Calling by following the steps below:

2. Tap your Profile picture.
3. Tap Call settings.
4. Enable or disable Integrated Calling.

NOTE: A User gets a notification on the screen when Integrated Calling is disabled. A warning also appears only once when the call gets interrupted.
 

Call Log visibility

When Integrated Calling is enabled then BT Cloud Work calls will be listed in the iOS device's native call log. Missed calls are displayed in red, and Users can return a missed call by tapping a number on the call log. BT Cloud Work calls are labelled as "BT Cloud Work* Audio" underneath the caller ID. The Users also have a set of standard features available to call or text a contact that is in the call log.

NOTE: You may disable Integrated Calling however, this setting would cause your BT Cloud Work calls to be interrupted by incoming mobile calls.

 

Differentiating a BT Cloud Work call from a personal call

BT Cloud Work calls are displayed as "BT Cloud Work* Audio" in the incoming call screen and in the native call log, whereas a personal call would only display a contact's name or just a number. 
 


What happens if I press the Power button during an active call?
