All iPhone Secret Codes – Tested and Working (August 2025)
Update:We last updated this article with new secret codes on August 4th, 2025.
iPhones have secret codes that show you hidden information, settings, and secret menus. Instead of digging through tons of settings, you’re able to just put in a few numbers and symbols to see what’s going on under the hood. We tested hundreds and hundreds of iPhone codes to create a list of the ones that are working. We have divided these codes based on their carrier since some codes are carrier-specific too.

What are iPhone Secret/Hidden Codes?
These iPhone secret/hidden codes are a combination of numbers, asterisks (*), and sometimes the hash sign (#) you type into your iPhone’s Phone app, just like you’re making a call. But instead of calling someone, these codes unlock hidden menus or show you different iPhone-related information.
Some codes can show you details about your network connection, others can let you test different hardware parts of your phone, and some even unlock special settings. While they might not be as widely known as regular settings, these hidden codes can be super handy for troubleshooting, checking device info, or just geeking out about your iPhone’s capabilities. There are different kinds of these codes, and we’ll explore what they can do.
There are two types of secret codes. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
How to Use Secret Codes on iPhone
Using these secret codes on an iPhone is pretty straightforward. You just need to follow these steps:
Note:While most codes require pressing the ‘Call’ button to execute, some, like the IMEI display code (*#06#), activate instantly upon typing the final # symbol.
A Word of Caution:Using some of these codes can be risky since they directly let you tinker with the hardware.

What’s the Difference Between Universal and Carrier Codes
iPhone dialer codes fall into two main categories:
Carrier-Specific Codes:Many codes, particularly those related to account balance inquiries, data usage checks, or management of carrier-specific network features (like T-Mobile’s Binge On or Scam Block), are unique to each network operator (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.). These codes will only function when the iPhone is connected to that specific carrier’s network.
Universal Codes:These are designed to function irrespective of the mobile carrier. A prime example is *#06# for displaying the IMEI, which is a standardized code across the mobile industry. Other codes related to fundamental GSM/UMTS/LTE features (like basic call waiting or forwarding checks) often fall into this category.
Universal iPhone Codes
Let’s get started.
Carrier-Specific Codes for US Networks
These codes are specific to major US wireless carriers for managing accounts, usage, and features.
AT&T Wireless
Note: There is significant ambiguity regarding AT&T wireless call forwarding codes. Using the iPhone’s settings (Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding) or the myAT&T app/website is the most reliable method.
Verizon Wireless
Note: T-Mobile uses codes largely following GSM standards, but with some specific variations (e.g., #31#).
Alright, folks, that’s the scoop on some of the iPhone hidden/secret codes you can try. Hopefully, you found a few new tricks to play with and maybe learned a little something about the capabilities of your phone. Keep playing around (but be a little careful!), and stay tuned for more iPhone tips and tricks in the future!
