Save a number after a call

Turn a number you have spoken to into a name that shows up next time.

Every call you take is listed under Recents, with the number beside it. You never type it again.

Save it once and the next call arrives as a name instead of ten digits.

Key points

• Every call leaves its number behind in Recents
• Saving it from there fills the number in for you

What to remember

• You are not typing a number, only naming one.
• Recents remembers every number. Saving is one press away.

Try this

Open Recents on your own phone, find a number with no name, and save it.
