Listen to Your Voicemail Messages
To access your voicemail and respond to your messages, head to the Voicemail tab in the Phone app. If your carrier supports Visual Voicemail, you will see a list of messages you’ve received as long as your carrier supports Visual Voicemail.
Choose a message and tap the Play button to listen to it. If your wireless carrier also supports the Voicemail Transcription feature, you’ll also get your message transcribed to text. This is handy for a brief view of the message.
Note: Visit the Apple Support page to get which voicemail features are supported in your region and for your carrier.
You’ll get a few other buttons for the voicemail message on the right side. Tap the speaker icon to listen to the message in speaker mode, the phone icon to call the number back, or the trash can icon to delete the message.
You’ll also see a share button on the top right you can use to send or share the message using your iPhone Share Sheet options. And yet, you have an info icon (small letter “i”) for details about the call or caller.
Adjust the Voicemail Notifications
When you have a new voicemail, you’ll get a badge app icon on the Phone app by default. You can change this by heading to Settings > Phone > Notifications. This number shows all notifications from the Phone app including missed calls and voicemails.
When you enter the Phone app, you’ll see a number on the Voicemail tab for the number of unplayed messages you have.
You can also set up an alert when you get a new voicemail. Enter Settings and select “Sounds & Haptics.” Pick “New Voicemail” under Sounds and Vibration Patterns.
Click “Vibration” at the top to choose a pattern and select one of the Alert Tones or Ringtones at the bottom for the sound. Click “Back” on the top left to save and exit.
