To search your recent calls, go to your Phone app and tap <strong>Recents<\/strong> across the bottom of the menu. Tap the search bar across the top of the page to open a new menu that shows the sections <strong>Calls<\/strong> and <strong>Voicemails<\/strong>. Both of these options also have the option to <strong>See All<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can use the search bar to search for a specific contact&#8217;s name, a contact&#8217;s number or dates. For example, typing &#8220;mom&#8221; or &#8220;dad&#8221; pulls up all the phone calls and voicemails from your mom or dad, as well as their contact card. Similarly, typing &#8220;August&#8221; or &#8220;July&#8221; into the search bar pulls up all calls and voicemails from that month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can also type a specific date, like &#8220;July 5,&#8221; and that pulls up calls and voicemails from that particular date.<\/p>\n<p>For more on iOS, here are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/i-tried-ios-26-for-a-month-and-these-3-features-stand-out-the-most\/#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/i-tried-ios-26-for-a-month-and-these-3-features-stand-out-the-most\/%22,%22target%22:%22%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22my%20first%20impressions%20of%20the%20iOS%20version%22%7D\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">my first impressions of the iOS 26 beta<\/a>, how to enable\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/say-goodbye-to-spam-calls-with-call-screening-in-ios-26\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">call screening<\/a>\u00a0in the beta and all the other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/liquid-glass-live-translation-and-all-the-other-important-new-ios26-features-coming-to-your-iphone\/#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/your-iphone-is-about-to-change-more-than-just-the-liquid-glass-look-in-ios-26\/%22,%22target%22:%22%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22iOS%2026%22%7D#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/liquid-glass-live-translation-and-all-the-other-important-new-ios26-features-coming-to-your-iphone\/#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/your-iphone-is-about-to-change-more-than-just-the-liquid-glass-look-in-ios-26\/%22,%22target%22:%22%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22iOS%2026%22%7D%22,%22target%22:%22%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22new%20features%22%7D\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">new features<\/a>\u00a0Apple said that update will bring to your device later this year.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" height=\"306\" width=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch this:<\/strong> Apple Has Nothing to Fear With AI\n      <\/p>\n<p>  06:40  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It can be frustrating to scroll through your iPhone&#8217;s Recent calls tab to find the right voicemail or&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":134940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-134939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115005798668611018","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
