FaceTime automatically runs on login?

[Simon89]

For the last few betas, on startup I'm getting FaceTime automatically popping up.

It isn't within the login items so I'm a bit baffled, is anyone else experiencing this?

do you have 'reopen windows' checked in the restart or shutdown window? just a thought...

 

[Simon89]

Good thinking, but nope it’s unchecked.

My system is an M1 Mac mini too, in case it makes any difference.

 

[fisherking]

some setting between that and your iphone or ipad, perhaps? not sure tho...

 

[Simon89]

Still doing it - really annoying!

is system preferences -> users & groups -> login objects empty?

edit: didn't read the first post properly apparently

I have experienced this for several betas as well. Checked all the usual places to no avail. Not sure but guessing it has to do with call/text forwarding from iPhone since FaceTime opens and I get the location verification pop up for wireless calling.

Allowing calls on other devices enabled on your iOS device?

That’s what I have, it went away for a little while but now it’s every time I turn it on. But it’s now with the added noise of continuity camera…

Even on subsequent betas, FaceTime is still starting automatically...annoying

also check the launch agents and launch daemons folders as well as privileged helper folders for any files related that may have gotten in there.

Facetime always has a background app, when you are using WiFi calling. It will also be used to confirm your 911 calling location.
