How to Find Your Phone Number on iPhone
Whether you forgot it or never knew it, your iPhone remembers your number.
In my country, Nigeria, it’s almost second nature to memorise your own phone number. Whether it’s for topping up airtime, filling out a bank form, or sharing it with a new contact, we make sure it’s committed to memory—just in case.
In fact, many of us even save our own numbers as a contact in our phones under names like “My Number” or “Self,” simply to avoid forgetting or fumbling when we need it. But if you’re using an iPhone, there’s a simpler way.
Instead of relying on memory or manually saved contacts, Apple actually gives you a few built-in ways to check your phone number instantly. This can save time and takes the pressure off remembering every detail, especially when you’re juggling multiple SIMs or switching lines.
