Yesterday I found the hide my caller ID toggle and decide that I would keep my caller ID hidden. However that has backfired on me because everyone I know screens calls and I show up as “no caller ID” on their phones now which is an issue. I went today to switch it back and I can’t find the “hide my caller ID” spot. How do I fix this? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey there helpmeplez,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
Just to clarify, are you not seeing the "Show My Caller ID" setting in Settings > Phone? More details can be found in the following resource: Make a call on iPhone - Apple Support
Change your outgoing call settings
1. Go to Settings> Phone.
2. Do any of the following:
* Turn on Show My Caller ID: (GSM) Your phone number is shown in My Number. For FaceTime calls, your phone number is displayed even if caller ID is turned off.
If so, try restarting your iPhone with the steps below from this next resource: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
