Method #1: Signing Out From the iPad Settings Menu

There is no direct option to sign out of the FaceTime calling application, so you have to go to your device Settings to achieve this task by following these steps.

2. Scroll down and tap “FaceTime”.
3. Tap “Apple ID”.
4. Tap “Sign Out”.

2. Tap “FaceTime”. 
3. Toggle the “FaceTime” option in the right pane to turn it off.

Method #3: Using Restrictions To Sign Out of FaceTime 

Apart from logging out of FaceTime, you can place restrictions to prevent the app from being used on your iPad.

1. Tap Settings.
2. Tap “General” in the left pane.
3. On the right pane, tap “Restrictions”.
4. Tap “Enable Restrictions” at the top and type in the passcode to access the menu.

Preventing Calls on FaceTime

If you don’t want to receive calls on FaceTime, you don’t have to switch on the Airplane Mode or Do Not Disturb Mode on your iPad. You can unlink your email address or phone number on FaceTime with these steps. 

1. Open the iPad’s Settings and tap “FaceTime”.
2. Find your linked email and phone number under the “You Can Be Reached by FaceTime At” option.
3. Tap the email and phone to deselect them from FaceTime and to stop receiving calls from others.

Using FaceTime ID on Two Devices

If you want to use FaceTime ID on two different iOS devices, you can play with the settings that work for you.

Suppose you want to use FaceTime on your iPad and iPhone with the same account. Go to the Settings on your iPad and tap “FaceTime”. Tap the “You Can Be Reached by FaceTime At” section and deselect the phone number.

Open Settings on your iPhone and tap “FaceTime”. Deselect the email address under the “You Can Be Reached by FaceTime At” section. 

In the above scenario, your contacts can reach you on FaceTime through the phone number on your iPhone and via email on your iPad.
