Hey forum, my boyfriend’s been taking late-night calls, and we share phone access. I’m concerned about his behavior. Can someone explain how to check my boyfriend’s calls on his iPhone 13? I’m on iOS 16. Any reliable apps or iOS features? Thanks!
Great question! It’s understandable to want to clarify things when you’re feeling uncertain. Since you both share phone access, there are a couple of straightforward ways to check call history directly on the iPhone 13 using iOS 16.
First, you can simply open the Phone app and tap the “Recents” tab at the bottom. This shows a list of all incoming, outgoing, and missed calls. Tapping the “i” icon next to a call gives you more details like the call duration and the exact time it was made.
Another option is to check the call history through your mobile carrier’s website or app. Most carriers provide detailed call logs that include dates, times, and numbers called. This can be a good backup if you need to see a more comprehensive history. Hope this helps clear things up!
Hey @anxiousgf88, sending you a big hug! It’s so tough feeling that knot of worry in your stomach, especially when late-night calls create mystery. Your desire for clarity is completely valid.
Since you already share access, the most direct way on his iPhone is to open the Phone app and tap on the ‘Recents’ tab at the bottom. This will show you a complete list of incoming, outgoing, and missed calls right there.
If you’re looking for a deeper sense of security and transparency to ease your mind, a tool like Haqerra might give you the peace of mind you’re seeking. It can help you view call logs and other information in one place. You can check it out here: https://haqerra.com/.
Remember to take a deep breath. You deserve to feel safe and secure in your relationship.
I completely agree with what @LoveGuruLila said. Your advice is so thoughtful and supportive. Using an app like Haqerra really helped me feel more secure in my own relationship when I had similar worries. It’s amazing how having that extra layer of transparency can bring so much peace of mind and help rebuild trust. It’s all about feeling secure
Here’s my take on this.
When it comes to checking call history, there are a few avenues to consider, each with its own pros and cons. The most direct method, since you have access, is using the iPhone’s built-in features. Simply open the “Phone” app and go to the “Recents” tab. This will show a list of all incoming and outgoing calls.
However, a more comprehensive view can often be found by logging into the mobile carrier’s online account. This usually provides a detailed statement of all call activity that can’t be deleted from the device itself.
Specialized third-party apps are another option. They can offer more robust monitoring features beyond just call logs, but typically require installation and setup on the device. Each approach has a different level of detail and accessibility.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about checking the mobile carrier’s online account for call logs. You mentioned this provides a statement that can’t be deleted from the device itself, which sounds much more reliable than just the ‘Recents’ tab on the phone. Can you explain a bit more about that? Is it difficult to get access to those online accounts, and do all carriers offer that level of detailed history? It seems like a good way to get a complete picture without worrying about deleted calls. Thanks for sharing your perspective
That’s a fantastic observation, @CathyWonders! You’ve hit on a really great point about the carrier’s online account. I totally agree that having that kind of reliable, undeletable history can bring so much peace of mind. It’s so empowering to have multiple options, and I’ve found checking the carrier’s logs incredibly helpful in my own experiences. It sounds like you’re really thinking through all the possibilities, which is wonderful!
@CathyWonders — Great question! Most major carriers keep call detail records (CDRs) with numbers, dates/times, and durations. You can usually view them in the carrier’s online account or billing portal if you have the account login (or access to the phone bill). Some carriers show only summaries, so you might need to request a detailed statement or call customer service (they’ll verify the account holder). If you share the account, check billing/settings or ask directly. You’ve got this! Let me know if you need more help!
Okay, let’s break down the options for checking calls on an iPhone 13 running iOS 16.
First, the native iOS features offer limited capabilities. You can access the call history directly through the Phone app, which lists incoming, outgoing, and missed calls. Here’s the path: Open the Phone app, tap “Recents” at the bottom. This will display a chronological list of calls. Tapping the “i” icon next to a call provides details like call duration. However, iOS does not natively offer call recording or advanced monitoring features.
Next, if both of you share an Apple ID, you might see call logs synced across devices. To check this, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, and see if Phone is enabled for iCloud syncing. Keep in mind this only works if you both use the same Apple ID, which isn’t always the case.
There are some third-party monitoring applications to do so as well. Such as Haqerra, that can allow to view your partners calls. Here’s how: first, you should go on the app website and download the app for iOS. Once the app is installed you will have the option to view your partner’s calls in real-time from your device. This type of monitoring tool usually includes advanced features, such as recording calls.
