Master calls on iPhone

The Phone app gives you more power than meets the eye

It looks basic at first glance, but the Phone app has a lot of useful extras hidden under the

hood. Far from simply enabling one-to-one calls and nothing else, you can customise your calls with all sorts of handy options on the fly.

For one thing, the Phone app isn’t selfish. By that, we mean you can easily switch to another app midway through a call – perfect if you need to look up some information that your caller needs, for example.

There are handy controls to quickly mute your call or put it on loudspeaker. Your iPhone will even play nice with connected devices like AirPods or a HomePod, making it ideal if you can’t raise the phone to your ear – or simply don’t want to.

It’s also a capable conference call tool, allowing you to merge multiple calls into one big group discussion. You can end one call in favour of another, put it on hold while you talk to your new caller, or simply send the new person to your voicemail to be dealt with later.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you tips and tricks that will enable you to tune up your iPhone calling experience for the better. Let’s get started.
