• To see your call history on iPhone, open the Phone app and check the “Recents” tab.
• You can also view additional details of a phone call by tapping the info icon next to a phone number.
• While in the “Recents” tab, you can also delete a single call from the log or all of them at once.

Like most cell phones, your iPhone provides the option to allow its users to keep tabs on their phone call history.

This can be helpful if you forget to save a phone number and you need to check the call history so you can locate the number and add it to your contacts.

You can also check the time and date of the call if you don't quite remember when you called someone — and delete one, more, or all of your calls to hide history or clear space.

Here's how to do it.

1. Open the Phone app on your iPhone.

2. Tap on the Recents tab in the bottom menu – it will take you to your recent phone call history.

3. Scroll through your phone calls to review your call history.
