How to Filter Contacts by Company Name on iPhone

Whether you're looking for a list of your coworkers or trying to track down the number for that plumber you used three years ago, searching your contacts by company name is a valuable time saver. While it isn't currently possible to display your contact list by company name, you can search for a company name and see all the contacts you have listed as working at that company.

You, of course, have the option to enter a company as a first or last name, but this is a cleaner way to accomplish a similar result. For more quick ways to streamline your iPhone use, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter.
