How do I turn off hyphens in the iPhone 11 phone keypad?
Spaces, hyphens or Parentheses in a Phone number depend on the International prefix
Watch the GIF below. Note here only numbers are being input, but Spaces, hyphens or Parentheses are added by the iPhone automatically
Hi SaravanKra,
Thanks for your reply. The reason I marked it "not helpful" is because I am not trying to make a phone call;, not local, not international. I live in a locked, gated community where we changed our outside locks to electronic. To make the lock unlock for a visitor or a delivery, they must select my name on an electronic call box at the gate. The call box makes my phone ring. I have to answer my phone and enter a security code on my phone to unlock the gate for them to walk in.
This security code is 5 digits. My Apple iPhone lets me enter the first 3 digits, then it adds a hyphen - according to USA phone area codes. I cannot remove this hyphen; cannot backspace it out; cannot select to delete; cannot remove it in any way. This means the security code result s wrong because the call box "sees" the hyphen as an extra digit and the gate will not unlock.
That is the problem. That is why I want to block or remove the hyphen. Thank you for trying to help.
