How to listen to, share, save, delete, or view the transcript of voicemails

Remember when we set up a custom greeting under the Voicemails tab of the Phone app? That same Voicemails tab is what you’ll use to listen to, share, or save your voicemails. To listen to a voicemail, simply tap one from the list, then hold your iPhone up to your ear. Note: This is how you’ll view voicemail transcripts, as well. Tap one from the list and the Transcription is displayed under the play, callback, and trash icons. It should play automatically, though this feature doesn’t always seem to work. If it doesn’t play automatically, tap the play icon. If you want to play the voicemail on speaker mode, tap the speaker icon to change it from blue on white to white on blue. To share a voicemail, tap on one and then tap the share icon at the top of the card. Select the contact or app you want to share the voicemail with (you’ll need to confirm the send on some apps, such as Messages).  Note: This is also how you’ll save a voicemail, simply by “sharing” it to your Voice Memos or Files. To delete a voicemail, select it, then tap the trash icon. Off it goes, taking up storage space no more. If you want to delete multiple voicemails at once, tap Edit in the top right corner. Select all voicemails you wish to Delete or Mark as Read (tap the respective button for what you want to accomplish). Then tap Done.  That’s all there is to it.
