No search option for the recent calls list? I can't find that field.

Hi, I can't find search box for recent calls list in iPhone (similar search field like I see for SMS). I've got many calls and sometimes I need to know when somebody called me but I can't find it in hundreds of last received calls.

Sorry if it's obvious but I just changed my phone (migrated from other system, that worst with green robot), and I still can't find many same feature.

Thank You for your answer, I wouldn’t expect there will be no name search for recent calls. I thought I just can’t find the right option in settings for phone app.


Anyway the substitute of search using Spotlight it’s not enough but when I will decrease my expectations from phone’s software it should be almost useful

You only have the last 100 calls in the Recent Call list. You need to scroll through the list. There is no option to search using a keyword as in SMS, Notes etc in the Phone App


However, you can always search for a number or name through Spotlight Search of Home Screen which appears in Recent Call list. See the pics below which is self-explanatory

Mobile brand selection is an individual choice based on many parameters. Such as Money, Feature, Status, Aesthetic, Utility, User-Friendliness, Availability, Warranty Coverage, Service Support, Resale value, Technology and many other factors.
