Use contacts from the Phone app on iPhone

In the Phone app on iPhone, you can call contacts and add recent callers to the Contacts app.

Add a contact to Favorites

You can add VIP contacts to your Favorites list for quick dialing.

  1. Go to the Contacts app on your iPhone.

  2. Select a contact, scroll down, then tap Add to Favorites.

Calls from these contacts bypass Do Not Disturb (see Turn on or schedule a Focus).

Add a recent caller to Contacts

  1. Go to the Phone app on your iPhone.

  2. Tap a number in the Calls list.

  3. Tap Create New Contact, then enter the contact’s information.

    To add a recent caller to an existing contact, tap Add to Existing Contact, then choose a contact.

Automate dialing an extension or passcode

If the number you’re calling requires dialing an extension, iPhone can enter it for you. When editing a contact’s phone number, tap the Symbols button, then do any of the following:

  • Tap Pause to enter a two-second pause (a two-second pause is represented as a comma in the phone number).

  • Tap Wait to stop dialing until you tap Dial again (wait-to-dial is represented as a semicolon in the phone number).
