Last Updated: February 4, 2020 Tested

This wikiHow teaches you how to check the total amount of time you have spent on calls on your iPhone, both for your current billing cycle and for your phone's lifetime.

Steps

1
Open your iPhone’s settings. Do this by tapping the gray gear icon on one of your home screens. You may find it in the Utilities folder.

- Current Period: This is the time you spent on the phone since you last reset the call statistics. If you’ve never reset them, this number will be cumulative.
- Lifetime: This is a running total of all talk time. This count will not be affected by resetting your call statistics.
4
Tap Reset Statistics to reset the “Current Period.” You’ll have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen to find it. Once tapped, the number next to “Current Period” will reset to 0.
- It’s a good idea to do this at the start of each billing cycle so the “Current Period” count is always correct. Set a reminder so that you never forget.

Does the talk time statistic change depending on whether the call was made using WiFi or mobile data?

No, talk time is talk time and not how you call someone.
