How do you know if your call is outgoing?

Answered by Jason Smith

To determine if your call is outgoing, you can refer to the call history on your device. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Phone app on your device. This app is typically represented by an icon resembling a phone receiver.

2. Look for the “Recents” tab or option within the Phone app. This section displays a list of all the recent calls you have made, received, or missed.

3. In the call history, you will notice different icons or indicators next to each call entry. These icons provide information about the nature of the call.

A. Outgoing Calls (Green Icon): When you have dialed a number and made a call, you will see a green icon next to that specific entry in the call history. This icon signifies that the call was outgoing, meaning you initiated the call.

B. Incoming Calls (Blue Icon): If someone has called you and you answered the call, you will see a blue icon next to that particular entry in the call history. This icon indicates that the call was incoming, and you responded to it.

C. Missed Calls (Red Icon): If someone called you, but you did not answer the call or the call ended before you could pick it up, you will see a red icon next to that entry in the call history. This red icon denotes a missed call, which means you did not respond to the incoming call.

By checking the icons associated with each entry in your call history, you can easily identify outgoing calls. The green icon signifies that you made the call, while the blue icon suggests an incoming call that you answered. Remember, the red icon represents missed calls where you did not respond to the incoming call.

It’s important to note that the exact appearance and location of these icons may vary slightly depending on the device and operating system you are using. However, most smartphones follow a similar pattern when indicating outgoing, incoming, and missed calls in the call history.

I hope this explanation clarifies how you can determine if your call is outgoing by checking the call history on your device. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!
