When I'm on a call using my iPhone X and I want to select between audio sources (i.e. speakerphone, car, etc.), one of the options is my MacBook Pro. It's annoying have it listed there as an option and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Has anyone seen this before? Any idea of how to remove it?

Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issue and wish to remove my MacPro from the list (it does not even have a mic!).

I had a MacMini on the list too and I turned off iCloud and that was the only way I was able to remove it.

I removed the phone from my MacPro's Bluetooth, handoff is off, etc...still no luck.

While driving, I noticed even while I was miles away from my MacPro, it still showed up as an option. Once I got to work to an iMac running 10.13.2, the iMac showed up.

Odd that even 20 plus miles away, my home MacPro would show up! I even restarted my phone to see if it would change, it did not.

On mine, it does not work as I have no mic and speakers for a server and no mic for a MacPro.

My question is how do you remove these computers from the list!

Okay...I think I figured it out:

Under Celluar > Wi-Fi Calling (I had it turned off completely), you need to turn it on and then turn off all of the devices there and leave the Wi-Fi Calling setting "On."

Apparently, turning the option off completely does not work...at least for me!

Thank you!!!!!!!!! I went into settings > cellular >calls on other devices> then disabled allowing calls on the other devices. Now when I make a call, it doesn't show any other devices and I only have the option for speakerphone. So much better now!!!!!
