Visual Voicemail
When you decline or don’t answer a call, the caller hears a recorded greeting and can
leave a voicemail message. On iPhone, visual voicemail lets you see a list of your
messages and choose which ones to listen to or delete, without having to listen to
prior messages or voice instructions.
The Phone button on the Home screen shows the total number of missed calls and
unheard voicemail messages you have.
When you tap Phone, the Voicemail button shows the number of unheard voicemail
messages and the Recents button shows the number of missed calls.
