Hi all, subject says it all. My current voicemail greeting says that I am working out and will be back in my apartment shortly. I'm wondering how to change that now using the new layout in the iOS phone app. I pretty much work out all the time these days, lol. However, I've gotten requests to change that message. Tia for anyone's help and take care. Btw, I no longer have a land-line phone due to cutting the cord a few years back.

Here's how I did it
Hi,
Here's how I did it.
Open the phone ap.
Tap the filter button.
Next, pick Voicemail from the drop down.
After that, pick and tap on Edit.
You should then find the option to change your greeting by either picking Siri's Default, or by recording a new personal greeting.
I hope this helps.
Alternative method
If the new layout is giving you a hard time, you can always do it the old-fashioned way. Open your phone app, double tap on the keypad tab, double tap and hold on the 1 button for a second or two, and it will automatically dial into your voicemail system. From there followed the voice prompts to do things like changing your personal greeting, etc.
HTH.
Here's how I do it
1. Open the phone app & activate the keypad tab
2. Dial your number
3. The call button is near the bottom of the screen, double-tap there.
4. When prompted, enter your password
5. choose the option to record a new greeting
6. press # to save once you're happy with it
I just kept the classic phone layout in the default greeting
I just kept the classic phone layout and the default greeting cause I didn’t feel like making a personal greeting. Hopefully these other ideas will help you get your greeting the way you want it though. I just didn’t feel like bothering with it. That’s the reason I didn’t do it. Hopefully this works for you though.
Agree with Singer Girl
My voicemail greeting is very generic. I'm just too lazy to bother with a personal greeting I guess...
I just think it’s too many steps. That’s why I never bothered ye
Yep exactly. I’m just too lazy to bother. It just seems like so many steps to just record one simple greeting so I just left it as default. Plus I kept never forgetting anything. I felt like I knew I wanted to say so. I just didn’t bother with it. But like I said before, I hope it works out for anybody who doesn’t want to do it.
