How to Access Call Log History in Ionic Capacitor for iOS?

Capacitor

Hello, fellow developers!

I’m working on an Ionic app with Capacitor, and I’m trying to access the native call log history on iOS devices. On Android, I can use the READ_CALL_LOG permission to get incoming, outgoing, and missed calls, but I’m unsure about how to do this on iOS since Apple has stricter privacy policies.

I’ve already explored CallKit, but it seems like it doesn’t provide access to the native iOS call logs. I’m wondering if there’s a way (using Capacitor plugins or any other native methods) to fetch the iOS call history for calls made on the native phone app?

Has anyone encountered this limitation or know of any alternative solutions for tracking call logs on iOS in a Capacitor app?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Accessing call logs on iOS is limited due to Apple’s strict privacy rules. iOS does not offer any public API for this purpose. This is mainly to protect user privacy.
