In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to retrieve your voicemail on an iPhone.

Step 1: Access the Phone App

To retrieve your voicemail, start by accessing the Phone app on your iPhone. Tap on the green phone icon located at the bottom of your home screen.

Step 2: Navigate to Voicemail

Once you’re in the Phone app, locate and tap on the “Voicemail” tab at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to the voicemail section.

Step 3: Listen to Voicemail Messages

In the voicemail section, you’ll see a list of all your received voicemails. Each voicemail message will be displayed with important details such as caller information and time of call.

To listen to a specific message, simply tap on it.

Step 4: Playback Controls

When you tap on a voicemail message, it will automatically start playing. You can use various playback controls to manage and navigate through the message:

  • Play/Pause: Tap once anywhere on the screen or use the play/pause button in the middle of the screen to play or pause the message.
  • Replay: If you want to listen to a specific part of the message again, drag your finger across the progress bar towards left or use the replay button on the left side of the screen.
  • Fast Forward: To skip ahead in the message, drag your finger across the progress bar towards right or use the fast forward button on the right side of the screen.
  • Delete: If you want to delete a voicemail message, tap on the trash bin icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. Confirm your action by tapping “Delete” when prompted.

Step 5: Call Back or Save Voicemail

After listening to a voicemail message, you have a few options:
