- Open the Phone app.
- Tap Recents.
- Here, iPhone identifies all the missed and received calls as:
- Allowed: These will appear in regular color with information such as when you received the call and from where it was.
- FaceTime: FaceTime calls will have a FaceaTime logo next to the contact name.
- Missed: Missed call contact will appear in red with information such as when you missed it and from where it was.
- Blocked: These calls are the ones that your iPhone blocked. They will have a flash sign next to it along with the necessary information.
