I checked my recent calls after answering a call from a contact who is an android user. I have made calls with him before but this is my first time seeing this symbol (a telephone with a keypad below it). What does it mean?
iPhone 13, iOS 17
Thank you for asking a question on Apple Discussions, sh4y_c!
The symbol you are seeing is the TTY (Teletype) Symbol.
"If you have hearing or speech difficulties, you can communicate by telephone using Teletype (TTY) or real-time text (RTT)—protocols that transmit text as you type and allow the recipient to read the message right away. RTT is a more advanced protocol that transmits audio as you type text." - Set up and use RTT and TTY on iPhone – Apple Support (MY)
