Pro Tip: Use Live Voicemail on iPhone
With Live Voicemail in iOS 17, you can view a real-time transcription of the message someone is leaving you as they speak, giving you immediate context for the call. If you want to address it, you can pick up the call while they're still on the line.

Enable Live Voicemail
Open Settings
Tap Phone
Tap Live Voicemail
Turn Live Voicemail on or off
When Live Voicemail is on, your phone picks up incoming calls to capture the caller's voicemail for you to see in real time. Standard calling rates may apply. The caller can't hear you and you can't hear them unless you answer the call.
