How to secure missed calls on iPhone lock screen

When there is a missed call on the iPhone, the lock screen displays a notification with the name and the option to call the other person back immediately without any security method. However, this will affect the privacy of missed calls displayed on the iPhone lock screen. Below are the steps to secure missed calls on the iPhone.

 

Requires password entry, Face ID calls back on iPhone

By default, iPhone enables callback mode right from the iPhone lock screen without entering a security method, unintentionally affecting your privacy and that of missed callers. If so, please turn off callback from the iPhone lock screen.

When you tap a missed call notification, you'll be asked to enter your passcode or authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID before you can call back. Tapping and holding the notification will no longer show options to call back or send a message.

 

Hide Missed Caller Names from iPhone Lock Screen

By default, missed call notifications on the iPhone lock screen show the caller's name. This also reveals the caller's personal information, so you should hide the missed caller's name.

Step 1:

You click on Notifications and then click on the Phone application in the displayed list.

 

Step 2:

Switch to the Phone app settings interface, click on Show preview to make adjustments on the iPhone lock screen.

Step 3:

Here you will tap on When Unlocked to show a preview of the missed call.

This means you'll have to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode before the missed caller's name is revealed.
