How to Merge Calls on an iPhone

Merging calls creates a conference on the iPhone.

Merging calls on your iPhone allows you to connect two callers to the same call without the need to hang up and go through the process of initiating a three-way call. When the call is merged, both callers will be connected to the same call, which allows them to interact with one another. After merging the call, you can simply hang up the call to disconnect both callers.

Instructions

1. Press the "Home" button on the iPhone, then tap the "Phone" icon.

2. Tap the "Keypad" icon, then enter the phone number of the first party.

3. Tap "Call" and wait for the first party to answer.

4. Tap "Add Call," then tap the second party's name. If the contact is not saved in your iPhone's address book, tap "Create a New Call" and enter the phone number.

5. Tap "Call" and wait for the second party to answer.

6. Tap "Merge Calls" to connect both calls on your iPhone.
