How do I detect how long I've been on hold when I make a call with my iPhone 13?

I just switched from a Pixel 5a to iPhone 13. With the Pixel, while making a call it would show the current duration of that call in real time. That way I could see how long I was waiting for someone to pick up on the other end because I'm a "really important customer "- or at least that's what they told me. On the iPhone I don't see this timer function. All I've been able to find when searching this topic is the ability to check how long the call was after I hang up! That's about as useful as telling me yesterday's weather. Am I missing something? Thanks

Hey there drbubba1995,

Congrats on getting your new iPhone! We'd like to help answer your question by sharing our own experience using an iPhone 13 Pro while calling friends and family.

When calling someone, if you pull your iPhone away from your face, you can see the call screen, which does show how much elapsed time has gone by during the call.

While there's no 'timer' that's built-in to the Phone app, you can use the built-in timer within the Clock app if you need one. For more details about using the timer in the Clock app, check out this article: Use the timer or stopwatch on iPhone

Cheers!
