How to Check Your Call History on Your iPhone
Opening the Phone App
To access your call history on your iPhone, you can open the Phone app. Here’s how:
Accessing call history through the phone app
Open the Phone app on your iPhone. You can find this app on your home screen.
Finding the ‘Recents’ tab
Once you have opened the Phone app, look for the ‘Recents’ tab at the bottom left corner of the screen. Tap on it to view your call history.
Scrolling through the call history
Once you are on the ‘Recents’ tab, you can scroll through the list to see all of your recent calls. The most recent calls will be at the top of the list.
Availability of call records up to 6 months ago
The call history in the Phone app keeps records of your calls for up to 6 months. This means you can view calls made, received, or missed within the past 6 months.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the list, you will see call records from 6 months ago.
It’s important to note that the call history only includes calls made on your iPhone. It does not include calls made on other devices or through other apps.
If you are unable to find a specific call in your recent call history, there are a few other options you can try:
- Check if the call history is available on other devices linked to your iPhone, such as your Mac computer. This can be done by enabling the “Calls on Other Devices” feature in your iPhone settings.
- Contact your mobile carrier, such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile, to access your call history. They may have records of all your calls, including those beyond the 6-month limit on your iPhone.
- If you need a comprehensive record of your call history, including text and talk logs, you can usually download this information from your mobile carrier’s website. They often provide the option to download the call history in CSV or Excel format.

Checking Call History on Other Devices
If you want to access your call history on devices other than your iPhone, there are a few steps you can follow. Here’s how:
Accessing call history through device settings
To check your call history on other devices, start by opening the Settings app on your iPhone.
Navigating to the ‘Phone’ section in settings
Scroll down until you find the ‘Phone’ section and tap on it to open the settings for your phone app.
Enabling ‘Calls on Other Devices’
Within the ‘Phone’ settings, look for the ‘Calls on Other Devices’ option. Tap on it to enable this feature.
Using a Mac computer to view call history
If you have a Mac computer that is linked to your iPhone, you can now view your call history on your computer. Open the ‘Phone’ app on your Mac to see your call records.
Retrieving call records even if deleted from the phone
By enabling ‘Calls on Other Devices’, you can still access your call records even if they have been deleted from your iPhone. This means you can retrieve call history that may extend beyond the 6-month limit on your phone.
It’s important to note that this feature allows you to view call history on devices that are connected to the same iCloud account as your iPhone. So make sure your Mac computer is signed in to the same iCloud account as your iPhone.
With these steps, you can easily check your call history on other devices. Whether you want to view call records on your Mac or retrieve deleted call history, these instructions will help you access the information you need. Remember to check the settings on your other devices to ensure ‘Calls on Other Devices’ is enabled. This will ensure that your call history is synchronized across all devices.
Checking Call History with Your Carrier
If you are unable to find a specific call in your recent call history on your iPhone, there are other options you can try to access your call records. One of the options is to contact your mobile carrier, such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile, to access your call history. Here’s what you need to know:
Contacting your carrier for call history
If you need access to call records beyond the 6-month limit on your iPhone, your mobile carrier may have the information you’re looking for. Reach out to your carrier’s customer service to inquire about retrieving your call history.
Verifying carrier (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile)
Make sure to verify your mobile carrier when contacting customer service. Different carriers may have different processes or requirements for accessing call history.
Downloading the entire call history
Many mobile carriers provide the option to download your entire call history, including text and talk logs. This comprehensive record can usually be downloaded in CSV or Excel format.
Inclusion of text and talk logs
The call history provided by your carrier typically includes not only the calls you made or received but also text and talk logs. This means you will have detailed information such as the exact time, date, and phone number associated with each call or message.
Availability of call records dating back years
Unlike the limited 6-month call history on your iPhone, the call records obtained from your carrier can date back years, providing a more extensive history of your phone activities.
By reaching out to your mobile carrier, you can access call history that may not be available on your iPhone. This is particularly useful if you need to retrieve specific call records or if you want a comprehensive overview of your phone activities over an extended period of time.
