You can merge up to five calls on an iPhone to create a conference call, meaning you can talk with up to six parties simultaneously (including yourself) if your carrier supports it
. The exact limit depends on your mobile carrier, as some carriers may restrict the number of participants or the ability to merge calls beyond a certain number
. To set up a conference call on iPhone:
- Call the first person.
- Tap "Add Call" to call the next person.
- Once they answer, tap "Merge Calls" to combine the calls.
- Repeat to add more people until you reach the limit (usually five participants plus yourself)
If you need to have more than five participants, you may need to use a third- party app or a dedicated business phone system, as the iPhone's native conference call feature does not support more than five participants on a single call
. In summary, the iPhone allows merging up to five calls (six participants total), but this is subject to your carrier's support and limitations.
