Use your iPhone to quickly locate the last time you spoke with your mother. This serves as a reminder that you should definitely give her a call.
Scrolling through the Recent Calls menu on your iPhone to locate the appropriate voicemail or to recall the last time you spoke to someone may be annoying. However, you may locate that call more quickly in your recent call history by using this iOS 18 technique.
RCS messaging and customized home screens were just two of the many new features that Apple incorporated with iOS 18, which was released in September. Additionally, it added a search bar to the Phone app on your iPhone, which makes it simple to go through your voicemails and call history. Prior to iOS 18, a running list of all calls made to and from your iPhone could be seen on the Recent Calls tab of your Phone app. However, you can now quickly search the list, saving you from scrolling pointlessly.
Can I use my iPhone to look up recent calls?
Yes, with iOS 18. Go to the Phone app and select Recents from the menu at the bottom to search your recent calls. To view the Calls and Voicemails sections, tap the search bar at the top of the screen to bring up a new menu. There is also the option to See All in both of these selections.
If you want to look for a certain contact’s name, phone, or dates, you may use the search box. For instance, entering “mom” or “dad” will display your parent’s contact card along with all of their voicemails and phone calls. Likewise, if you type “August” or “July” into the search field, all of the calls and voicemails from that month will appear.Additionally, you may specify a specific date, such as “July 5,” to get voicemails and calls from that day.
