How do I delete/clear all voice messages from iPhone

Deleting all VMs from my iPhone is non-intuitive. I need help figuring this out. Plus, I understand that to fully clear out the mailbox, I have to clear the deleted messages. This is also not intuitive. One option I'm seeing is to call my carrier and ask them to reset the mailbox. Is this, in fact, what clearing all messages requires?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

I believe that I have dialed a number in the past to clear my voicemail. I simply want to clear out the old.

Your carrier probably allows you to access your voicemail by dialing into it directly. For my carrier, it's *86. Or from another phone, I dial my phone number then interrupt the recording by pressing the # key. Contact your carrier for details on how they do it.

That isn’t really good advice. Most of IPhone has the voicemail call only. Ur talking about first generations that no one have today.


i can’t delete it either until i listen to it all which I don’t want to cuz its all scammer voicemails. No option to delete it has one is bugged and does beeping sounds making it unable to delete it and passes to the next voicemail

If you mean voice mail messages, go to Phone>Voicemail. Tap "Edit" in the upper right corner. Select the messages you want to delete. Tap "Delete" in the lower right corner. Just as Carol said in the first post in this thread.


If you mean something else, best to start your own thread.
