iPhone 12: Suppress phone number - step by step

The iPhone 12 also uses the already familiar iOS operating system and you can make numerous settings. Among other things, the phone number can be suppressed for outgoing calls. This setting can be set permanently or activated with a specific prefix only for individual calls.

How to suppress your phone number on iPhone 12

Normally, an outgoing call always displays the phone number on the recipient's phone. With a suppressed phone number, you can make phone calls anonymously. But if you don't want to show your phone number to certain callers, you can simply suppress the display on iPhone 12. Either turn off the disclosure of the phone number on your iPhone permanently or suppress it only for individual calls by a prefix. Keep in mind that you can not be called back when the phone number is suppressed.
