Are you a student or a business person who regularly uses the iPhone’s Calculator app to do calculations?
If so, then you might face calculation errors due to typos. It is very frustrating to restart the calculations from the start. But you can see the calculator history on your iPhone while using it.
Just swipe down on the numbers you have written on your iPhone’s Calculator, and above it, there will be all the calculations you have performed. But this method only works when using the Calculator in landscape mode.
Let’s discuss what kind of history and calculations you can see on iPhone’s Calculator app.
What Is Calculator History?
The calculator history lists all the calculations you have done on your calculator. This is where you go to check and confirm a calculation that you have previously done.
A regular or simple calculator doesn’t store calculation histories, but calculator apps on smartphones or iPhones have this feature. They store the latest calculation you have performed to help you recheck it for accuracy. But, these apps have some limitations, and they can store only a few calculations.
So, let’s discuss how you can see the calculator history on your iPhone.
How To See Calculator History on iPhone
If you are using an iPhone and want to see the latest calculations you have performed on the Calculator app, here are the simple steps you can follow:
- Open the Calculator app and hold your iPhone in the landscape position.
- This will open some new features on the Calculator, and it will be turned into a scientific calculator.
- Here you will see the result of the previous calculation that you have made. You will have to swipe down on it.
- A list of calculations will appear, and this will be your calculator history.
- If you can’t see the result of the previous calculation, then you can perform 2-3 calculations and swipe down to see the calculation history.
