*67 in phone number for IOS app

I know it is possible to dial an extension after you have dialed a phone number from an app but I am not finding a way to add *67 or call blocking in front of a phone number for my IOS app. I have tried different variations of this but nothing has worked. Does anyone know if this is possible or does Apple not support such a feature?

Solution

  • No, it is not possible.

    You cannot make the iPhone dial a * or a # using a tel URL. Apple documents its support for tel URLs in the Apple URL Scheme Reference, which says this:

    Specifically, if a URL contains the * or # characters, the Phone app does not attempt to dial the corresponding phone number.
