A tech expert encourages iPhone owners to try entering a “passcode” that unlocks a hidden page, a little-known trick on your iPhone that can detect if your calls are being forwarded to another number using the call forwarding method.
Your iPhone has many secrets that you can type into the Phone app.
They unlock special scanners and menus that can reveal things about your phone.
The code you enter can reveal if call forwarding is working on your device.

Transfer calls on iPhone
If call forwarding is working, then your iPhone won’t ring when someone calls you.
Instead, the phone will be immediately transferred to another device.
It is good to look at sending calls.
Maybe you forgot you turned it on (and now you’re wondering why no one wants to call you!), or maybe a snooping friend or family member with access to your phone turned it on to mess with you.
It is an easy way to check if call forwarding is turned off after you are done using it.
