Accessing Older Call Records

Your iPhone displays only the last 100 calls. To access older call records:

Ensuring Call History Sync Across Devices

To keep your call history consistent across all your Apple devices:

1. Enable iCloud Drive: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, then toggle on "iCloud Drive."
2. Verify iCloud Sync: Ensure all devices are signed in with the same Apple ID and have iCloud Drive enabled.

This synchronization ensures that your call history is up-to-date across all your Apple devices. (macrumors.com)
