How to access voicemail on iPhone 16 with iOS 26.0.1?

I rarely use or look at voicemail but I got a pop up saying it was 95% full. When I went to delete some junk VM's, I couldn't find Voicemail! I have iOS 26.0.1 installed on an iPhone 16. Where'd VM go? I now only have Calls - Contacts-Keypad and Search as options at the bottom of the phone app.

Launch Phone app->Recents->tap the three lines in the upper right corner and select “Classic” to return to the old way of accessing voicemail. In the new “Unified’ display All/Recents/Voicemail are unified into a single screen. Calls that include voicemail have a symbol.


Your choice. See the link provided for explanation regarding Unified vs Classic settings.
