Apple has added the Phone app to macOS 26 Tahoe, allowing you to place calls on your iPhone while using your Mac.

Apple’s Continuity features between the iPhone and Mac were expanded in 2024 with the introduction of iPhone Mirroring in iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. However, you couldn’t actually place a phone call on your iPhone via the Mac, forcing users to pick up their mobile device.
This is annoying for people who may be familiar with using their Mac for almost everything that their iPhone would be usable for. The lack of phone call support meant that you had no choice but to have the iPhone nearby if you had to actually place or receive them.
