The mobile phone has become an indispensable part of our daily lives: we use it to browse the Internet, play games, take photos and record videos, complete administrative procedures, stay in touch with family and friends… Although sometimes we forget that It really is a phone, from time to time we also use it to call.
If you’ve ever wondered how much time you’ve spent talking on your phone, there’s a way to find out: iOS keeps a record of the time you’ve spent talking since you got your phone. Curious how much time you’ve spent talking on the phone?
Find out how much time you have spent talking on your phone from the iPhone settings
Checking how much time you’ve spent talking on the phone since you started using your iPhone is very simple, although the data is somewhat hidden in the iOS settings. To find it, you just have to open the application Settingsclick on Mobile data and scroll to the end of the list, where you will find the section Duration of calls.
Once in this section, you will see that there are two different figurescorresponding to the Current period Yet the Total length. If you’ve never reset your device or reset your stats (there’s an option for this below), both numbers should match.
The Total length It shows us the time we have spent talking since we first set up the iPhone. That is, it is about the total time you have spent talking since you got your mobile phone. If you have restored it since then, the figure will show the time you have spent talking since the last time you restored it.
On the other hand, the number of Current period It is related to the option to reset statistics that we find a little further down. If you use the button Reset statistics that we find at the end of the section, the statistics of the Current period They will go back to zero. Of course, the figure of Total length It will not be restored unless we restore the mobile.
At this point it is important to note that the function to reset statistics can be useful if you need keep track of the minutes you talk each month. This can be interesting if you have a limited rate.
Of course, you will have to remember to reset the statistics manually each month, since the system does not do it automatically. Resetting the statistics will also erase the mobile data consumption that appears a little higher, in the section Mobile data.
