What is callservicesd on Mac?
By Junaid, maker of Taskglass · Last reviewed
Keeps track of phone and FaceTime calls on your Mac, including calls from your iPhone.
callservicesd is the system daemon that maintains call state: it tracks FaceTime calls and iPhone calls you make or receive on your Mac through Continuity, and keeps call history in sync. It's usually idle unless a call is happening.
