People are just realising iPhone has a game-changing voicemail hack

iPhone voicemail hack

How to see voicemail transcriptions on iPhone

Transcription voicemails will work on iPhones running iOS 10 or later, so most iPhones should be able to use it.

If your device is able to transcribe a voicemail, it should automatically appear with each message you receive.

Go there and you may get a "Transcribing Voicemail…" message if you haven't done it before.

It's possible there are some blanks for any bits the system was not able to recognise.

Give it a go next time you receive a voicemail and see if it saves some time.
