Hadronic resonances are unique tools to investigate the interplay ofre-scattering and regeneration effects in the hadronic phase of heavy-ioncollisions. As the $\phi$ meson has a longer lifetime compared to otherresonances, it is expected that its production will not be affected byregeneration and re-scattering processes. Measurements in small collisionsystems such as proton-proton (pp) collisions provide a necessary baseline forheavy-ion data and help to tune pQCD inspired event generators. Given that the$\phi$ is a bound state of strange-antistrange quark pair (s$\bar{\rm{s}}$),measurements of its production can contribute to the study of strangenessproduction. Recent results obtained by using the ALICE detector show thatalthough $\phi$ has zero net strangeness content, it behaves like a particlewith open strangeness in small collision systems and the experimental resultsagree with thermal model predictions in large systems. The production mechanismof $\phi$ is yet to be understood. We report on measurements with the ALICEdetector at the LHC of $\phi$ meson production in pp, p--Pb, Xe--Xe and Pb--Pbcollisions. These results are reported for minimum bias event samples and as afunction of the charged particle multiplicity or centrality. The resultsinclude the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) distributions of $\phi$ as wellas the $\langle p_{\rm T}\rangle$ and particle yield ratios. The $\phi$effective strangeness will be discussed in relation to descriptions of itsproduction mechanism, such as strangeness canonical suppression,non-equilibrium production of strange quarks and thermal models.
