On iPhone, users can enable/disable the Show My Caller ID feature. Therefore, if there is no caller ID on the iPhone, or when you call someone without displaying your number. It's possible that the caller id on your iPhone has been hidden because you turned off this feature.

Reset network settings or restore iPhone to factory settings

Invalid network configuration may also be the reason that affects the operation of the caller ID display feature. Therefore, iFan go to Settings > General settings > Reset > Reset network settings.

If all of the above measures are ineffective, restoring the phone's factory settings is a 'strong' measure. Note, users need to ensure that they have performed a BACKUP OF DATA carefully before proceeding. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.

Incoming calls do not display numbers on iPhone

There are some cases where an incoming call does not display the number or ID. Calls that do not tell you your identity often have strange structures, short numbers, too long numbers, strange names. You should pay close attention because these calls may be scam calls, advertising services or Telesales. Therefore, users should not receive calls, block phone numbers or call the network operator to confirm!
