Whether you’re looking for a specific message or just want to browse through your audio history, we’ll walk you through the steps to make it happen. So, grab your iPhone and let’s get started!
Open the Phone App
To begin your search for audio messages, you will first need to open the Phone app on your iPhone. This app is the primary interface for making and receiving phone calls, as well as managing your contacts and call history.
Unlock your iPhone
The first step in accessing the Phone app is to unlock your iPhone. To do this, simply swipe the screen to bring up the lock screen, and then tap the “Phone” app icon.
Alternatively, if you don’t see the recent calls icon on the main screen, you can tap the keypad icon and type the asterisk symbol (**) to access the keypad and enter the phone number of the person you wish to call.
Access Recents or Keypad
Once you have unlocked your iPhone and accessed the Phone app, you will need to navigate to the appropriate screen to find your audio messages. If you have recently received any audio messages, they will be displayed in the “Recents” section of the Phone app. To access this section, simply tap the “Recents” icon at the bottom of the screen.
If you do not see any recent calls in the Recents section, you can tap the keypad icon and type the asterisk symbol (**) to access the keypad and enter the phone number of the person you wish to call. Once you have connected with the person, you can start a conversation and begin sending and receiving audio messages.
If you are unable to find your audio messages in the Recents section, you can try searching for them by tapping the “Search” icon at the bottom of the screen and entering the name or phone number of the person you are trying to reach. This will allow you to quickly locate any audio messages you may have missed.
Find the Audio Messages Tab
Upon opening the Phone app on your iPhone, you will notice that the Voicemail icon is typically located at the bottom center of the screen. This icon is a small square with a circular arrow pointing in, and it serves as the primary indicator for accessing your audio messages. To proceed to the Audio Messages tab, follow these steps:
- Locate the Voicemail icon: Quickly glance at the bottom center of your screen and identify the square icon with a circular arrow pointing inward.
- Tap the Voicemail icon: Press your finger on the icon to initiate the process of accessing your audio messages.
If for some reason you do not see the Voicemail icon on your screen, you can follow these alternative steps:
- Swipe right: Instead of tapping the Voicemail icon, gently swipe your finger from the left edge of the screen to the right. This action will reveal the “More” tab, which serves as an entry point to various additional features and settings.
- Locate the Audio Messages option: Once you have accessed the “More” tab, scroll through the available options until you find the “Audio Messages” entry. It may be located near the top or bottom of the list, depending on your device’s settings.
- Tap the Audio Messages option: To proceed to the Audio Messages tab, press your finger on the “Audio Messages” option. This action will take you to the page where you can view, manage, and listen to your audio messages.

This feature provides you with the convenience of being able to manage your voicemails by removing unwanted messages from your device.
In addition to these basic functions, there are other features available in the “Voicemail” section of your iPhone’s phone app that allow you to customize and manage your audio messages.
