How to stop Clara from picking up your calls

When you set up Clara, your phone was set to forward calls to your Clara NumberIn the Clara app, go to Settings → Call Handling and tap your number to copy it . To stop Clara answering, turn that forwarding off. Your calls will ring your phone again straight away.

There are three ways to turn it off: in the Clara app (recommended), in your phone’s settings, or by dialling your network’s code.

1In the Clara app

  1. Open Clara and go to Settings → Call Handling → Call Forwarding
  2. Tap Disable Call Forwarding
  3. Your phone’s dialer opens and dials the code for you
  4. Return to Clara and tap Done

2In your phone’s settings

Go back to the same place where you switched it on.

On iPhone

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Phone → Call Forwarding
  2. Turn Call Forwarding off

On iOS 17 or earlier, it’s in Settings → Phone → Call Forwarding.

On Android

  1. Open your Phone app → Settings
  2. Tap Supplementary services or Calling accounts
  3. Tap Call forwarding → Always forward
  4. Turn it off

3Dial your network’s code

Pick your network and use the Turn forwarding off code. Dial it in your phone’s normal dialer and press call.
