To set your iPhone to private caller, open the Settings app and scroll down to tap on Phone. Next, select Show My Caller ID and toggle it off. This will ensure your number is hidden when making calls. For added privacy, remember that this setting might not apply to emergency services or toll-free numbers. Alternatively, you can manually dial 67 before entering a phone number, which blocks your ID for that specific call only.*
