For some reason I enabled a feature on my Samsung tablet a while ago that links it to my Samsung mobile. It didn't seem to really do anything, but I think it was supposed to allow me to pick up or make calls on the tablet, via the phone. I never actually used the feature, and I've forgotten what I did to enable it.

Today I've had a couple of people call my mobile while I was at home, and the tablet rang instead. First call, I couldn't pick up the call on the mobile. The "phone" screen was showing on the tablet, but I couldn't pick up on that either.

Second call, the mobile rang, spoke to the person calling. 5 minutes after hanging up, the tablet started ringing with the same number, screen unresponsive, no call showing on the mobile.


Does anyone know how I disable this feature?

Sorted! It's called "call and text on other devices", and now I've found it, I've turned it off.

I'm sure that I enabled it on the tablet, but it can only be disabled on the mobile.
I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings menu, had to type the name of the feature into the phone's search bar.
