If you’re not sure why you’d want to put an iPhone call on hold, don’t worry. I wasn’t either. ‘Isn’t holding calls just something people did on landlines in 80s coming of age films?’ I thought, perhaps naively. ‘The kind of thing that only call centers actually do nowadays?’

As it turns out, no, and putting someone on hold on iPhone still very much has its uses. Admittedly, some of those have been usurped by the mute button, like stopping a caller hearing your end of the line. But if you need to call a friend while already talking to another one, to organize plans for example, simply sticking one on hold while you dial the other one separately (or even add them to the call) is super useful.

Anyone running their own business will naturally still appreciate call holding too, utilizing the function to deal with multiple customers or clients via their iPhone.

But how do you do it? Before learning myself, I was familiar with putting someone on hold when given the option to do so — this happens when you receive a call while already on one — but had never known how to just stick someone on the back burner whenever I felt like it. As it happens, it’s surprisingly simple, so here’s how to put someone on hold on iPhone.
