   • Allowed: They will be displayed in normal color with information such as when you received the call and where it was from.
   • FaceTime: FaceTime calls will have the FaceaTime logo next to the contact’s name.
   • Missed: A missed call contact will appear in red with information such as when you missed it and where it was from.
