I don't see the Voicemail tab in the Phone app any longer in iOS26 :/ So I have no idea how to view / listen to / retrieve voicemails.

Any thoughts?

PS - At first I thought maybe the Voicemail tab would only appear if I had a new voicemail, but 1) That would be a TERRIBLE design decision (how to listen to older, saved voicemails?) and 2) I KNOW I have a voicemail I haven't listened to, because it was there before I upgraded - now, I have no idea how to access it :(
 
OK - I figured it out.

Apparently, when I set up the Phone app, I chose the new "unified" design, which segregates "Calls" "Missed Calls" "Voicemail" and "Spam" into different views. To change between them, you choose the "filter" icon in the upper right-hand corner of the interface.

Now, why they chose a "filter" icon for this, I have no clue - I'd have expected a three dots or "hamburger" icon. As is, it's non-intuitive (to me, at least).
