Are you looking to master the art of three-way calling on your iPhone? Look no further!
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process step by step, so you can seamlessly connect with multiple people on a single call. Let’s dive in and learn how to do a three-way call on your iPhone.
Step 1: Initiate a Call
The first step is to initiate a call with one of the participants. Open your Phone app and dial the number of the first person you want to include in your three-way call. Once the call is connected, you can proceed to add another person to the conversation.
Step 2: Add Another Person
To add another person to the call, locate and tap on the “Add Call” button. This button is typically represented by a “+” or an icon resembling two overlapping phone receivers.
Note: Keep in mind that when you initiate a three-way call, it may incur additional charges depending on your mobile service provider and plan. Make sure to check with your provider beforehand.
Method 1: Dialing
If you know the number of the person you want to add, simply dial their number using the keypad provided. Once connected, you will have successfully added them to your ongoing call.
Method 2: Contacts
If the person you want to add is stored in your contacts list, tap on the “Contacts” tab located at the bottom of your screen. Search for their name and select it from the list. Then, tap on their phone number to initiate a call and merge it with your existing conversation.
Method 3: Recent Calls
If you recently called or received a call from the person you want to add, tap on the “Recents” tab at the bottom of your screen. Locate their name or number from the list and tap on the blue phone icon next to it. This will connect their call with your ongoing conversation.
Step 3: Merge Calls
After successfully adding the second person to your call, you will need to merge all participants into a three-way conversation. To do this, locate and tap on the “Merge” button, which is typically represented by an icon resembling two overlapping phone receivers.
Note: In some cases, if you are unable to see the “Merge” button, it may indicate that your carrier does not support three-way calling. Make sure to check with your service provider or enable this feature if necessary.
Step 4: Manage Your Three-Way Call
Now that you have successfully merged all participants into a three-way call, you can easily manage various aspects of the conversation:
- Switching between Calls: If you wish to speak privately with one participant while placing others on hold, tap on their name displayed on your screen and select “Private.” To switch between calls, simply repeat this process for different participants.
- Muting Your Microphone: To mute your microphone during the call, tap on the “Mute” button.
This can be particularly useful in situations where you only need to listen or when there is background noise that may interfere with the conversation.
- Ending One Call: If at any point during the three-way call you want to end one participant’s connection while keeping others active, locate their name displayed on your screen and tap on “End.” This will disconnect the selected participant without affecting the remaining calls.
And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you can easily perform a three-way call on your iPhone and effortlessly connect with multiple people at once. Enjoy the convenience and flexibility of staying connected with family, friends, and colleagues on a single call!
