How to Use Dial Assist on Your iPhone

Dial Assist is a hidden gem in your iPhone’s Phone app. Imagine never worrying about adding country codes or area prefixes when calling friends, family, or colleagues abroad. This smart feature automatically detects where you’re calling from, adds the right codes, and connects your call seamlessly. Whether you’re traveling or calling internationally, Dial Assist saves time and avoids dialing errors.

How Dial Assist Simplifies Your Calls

Smart Detection for Accurate Connections

When you dial a number, Dial Assist uses your iPhone’s location and your contact’s saved number to decide if a country or area code is needed. For example:

• If you’re in the U.S. but calling a U.K. contact, Dial Assist adds +44 automatically.
• No more manual edits or failed calls—just tap the number and let your iPhone handle the rest!

Traveling often? Dial Assist ensures you never pay extra for misdialed international calls. It works behind the scenes to:

1. Remove guesswork with automatic code adjustments.
2. Save time by skipping manual prefix entries.
3. Boost reliability so your calls connect every time.
