How to enable full-screen caller ID on iPhone

With iOS, Apple introduced a compact call interface that shows calls as a small banner at the top of the display when you are using your iPhone. Prior to this, when you got a call, your whole display would be blocked with full-screen caller ID. While full-screen caller ID takes up the whole display, it does ensure you never miss a call.

If you prefer the old full-screen caller ID in place of the banner style because you are missing calls, you can switch between the two pretty easily. Here’s how to enable full-screen caller ID on iPhone in a few simple steps.

Learn how to enable full-screen caller ID on iPhone

Launch the Settings app from the Home screen on your iPhone.
Go to Phone.
Tap on Incoming Calls.
Lastly, tap Full Screen.

Now, any incoming calls will feature full-screen caller ID with full-screen contact pictures. Note that FaceTime and calls from other apps will also appear on the full screen instead of a banner.

The one disadvantage of this is that you cannot dismiss an incoming call by swiping it away like you could with a banner call. However, you can still use the volume buttons on your iPhone to silence a call or double-tap the power button to decline it.
