How to hide phone number on Apple devices

For one reason or another, the owner of the smartphone may need to hide his number when calling another subscriber. This function can be easily used if you know how to do it.

How to hide phone number on iPhone

There are several ways to hide the number in different versions of iOS, as well as using a cellular operator.

Any user can hide their number when calling another subscriber

Using settings in iOS

Although iPhones have different firmware versions, the hidden number settings will not be different. Let's consider the settings of a phone running iOS 7:

1. Open "Settings" in the device control menu.

   

   Open the phone settings

2. We find the item "Phone".

   

   Click on the item "Phone"

3. Open the item "Show number".

   

   Open the item "Show number"

4. Disable the "Show number" lever.

   

   Disable number display

In all other versions, the sequence of actions is the same. Each of the following firmwares has a different menu, but this function (since iOS 7) has not changed its location.
