I’ll try to show you a couple of easy steps to being able to view iPhone call history on your local device storage or on iCloud even after deleting it from your device. I will also go into how to view other’s iPhone call history with the use of some spy tool just in case you want to investigate, or to just simply be a snoop or probably do it just because you can.
Part 1:How to View my call history?
Viewing Call history from iPhone
First of all, let’s start from the easiest part of how to see call history on iPhone, which is immediately viewing recent call logs directly from your device call history.
- First make sure your iPhone is on the home screen, if not quickly press the home button to show the default home screen.
- Look to the bottom part of your screen and locate the “phone” icon amongst the four applications located there (it’s usually the first app to the left) and click the icon.
- A new screen will pop-up which might sometimes be your contact list and favorite contacts. At the bottom of the screen, (usually the second option from the left), you should see a time-like icon with the title “recent” written under it, tap the icon to view
- You should see your recent iPhone call history including FaceTime arranged in descending order. At the top of the page are two tabs namely ‘All’ and ‘Missed’ to display.
- You can also tap the blue circle icon with the letter “I” in it which appears in front of each of the call logs to get more information and further actions about the call such as time of call, returning the call, adding a number to contacts or even blocking the number.
Viewing Call history from iCloud
Apple, just like most smartphone companies synchronizes to iCloud which can back up an iPhone call history for months with information like phone number, time of call, call duration, missed and ignored calls etc.. iCloud backup can’t be easily accessed without a third party application. There are quite a number of such apps that can easily retrieve your call history from iCloud such as PhoneRescue, iSkySoft Data Recovery, Aissesoft FoneLab and etc.

Another means of on how to see call history on iPhone would be directly from your Internet Service Provider or Cellular Carriers. Cellular carriers Such as AT&T or Verizon can give you access to your call history from their websites accounts linked to your phone. You can get up to 18 months or more of call logs from most cellular carriers on their website.
