See Your Facetime History with One Person
You should remember that there is no direct option to see your Facetime history with a particular contact. Therefore, you will need to use the search option or get help from Siri.
Using the Search Option
The search option is not available on Facetime. You will have to use the search bar on your home screen. Here is how it will work:
- Open your home screen and swipe down or left to open the search bar
- With whom do you want to check your history? Enter his name, and you will be shown a call history.
- In case you do not have the number in your contact book, then type the number manually
- You will find your history with the number across different platforms. Now scroll down to the Facetime section.
- You will find many options from which you have to click “show more.”
- And that is it. A list of Facetime call history between you and the other person will be displayed on your screen.
Using Siri
You can follow the above method to see Facetime history on iPhone and iPad. However, there is also an alternative option. And that is using Siri.
Activate Siri by saying, “Hey, Siri.” Now, you need to command the software to show you the Facetime history with the name of the person. You will get all the Facetime calls you have had with the person.
Not Finding Your Facetime History with A Particular Contact
You can see the recent call history on Facetime as soon as you launch the application. However, is the person you are looking for missing from the call log? This can happen due to one of the following reasons:
Check Your Blocklist
If you have, by any chance, blocked the other person, then your call history can be erased. So, if the Facetime call log history is not showing you the particular number, check your block list. Go to the settings, then phone, and finally click on “Blocked contacts.’
If the number is on the list, just remove it from there. The call history will reappear on your Facetime call logs. If the number is not in the block list, then you have to go to the next step.
Try to Remember if You Deleted the Call History
Are you sure you did not delete the call history? It can also be done accidentally. But do not worry. Even if you have deleted the calls, you can still retrieve the data. We will move on to that part in a little while.
