If you frequently use your smartphone for work, it can be beneficial to learn how to conduct conference calls effectively and professionally. In this post, we define merge calls and describe how to participate in them on your iPhone.<\/p>

What does it mean to Merge calls?<\/span><\/h2>

A merge call is a feature that allows three or more individuals to talk on the phone at once during a phone call. The majority of mobile devices only support five or six conference call participants at once; however, certain hosting services and software packages provide paid and free choices that support many more. <\/p>

Furthermore, it enables participants to hold a meeting even though they are in different places or time zones. It is advantageous for businesses with hybrid or remote work schedules when employees frequently work from multiple places.<\/p>

How to Merge Calls on iPhone <\/span><\/h2>

To make a group call on your iPhone, follow these steps:<\/p>

  1. Call the first person, then tap Add Call.<\/li>\n\n
  2. Select the person you wish to join the call from your contacts list by tapping their name.<\/li>\n\n
  3. If your contact has multiple numbers displayed, such as a work and home number, tap the one you wish to call.<\/li>\n\n
  4. When the second respondent speaks, select Merge Calls.<\/li>\n\n
  5. The names of both callers will appear at the top of your screen when your three-way call begins. <\/li>\n\n
  6. Tap Hold and Accept if you receive a call from someone who needs to be added to your group call. <\/li>\n\n
  7. Tap Merge Calls once you’ve waited for the incoming caller to connect. Your call log will reflect the new caller.<\/li><\/ol>

    Note that you must repeat these steps for each individual you call because you can only add one person to a group call at a time. However, they can disconnect and exit the call at any point after being added, but this won’t put an end to the group call. <\/p>
