How to Turn off Or on Call Forwarding

Your iPhone is equipped with a straightforward call forwarding function that allows you to divert all incoming calls to a separate phone line.

When you set up call forwarding, your iPhone will not ring, and all of the calls it receives will be sent to another phone in your household. If you just want to use call forwarding for a short period of time, it’s simple to turn it off so that your iPhone may receive calls again.

Here’s how to activate or deactivate the function.
