"And yet, I watched the call come in without touching my phone."
Pro tip: Hit the volume rocker to mute the ringer without cancelling the call. Works on at least iOS and most Androids.
- keyle 13y agoThe top button on iphone will mute the ringing and let it "ring out" as if you're away. I feel sneaky using it as opposed to declining the call, but Italy's best rule for warfare as always been "the best defense is to not be there".
- mmahemoff 13y agoIt can be sneaky or considerate, depends when you use it. The problem with the abrupt "hanging up" button is it's binary like a car horn - there's no way to do it nicely. If you're in a meeting where you can't take the call, it's a gentle way to let the caller down.
- bradleyland 13y agoI think you're confused about the function of the sleep button on the iPhone. When an iPhone is ringing, pressing the sleep button one time silences the ringing and vibration, but does not "hang up" the call. Pressing again, however, will "hang up" the call.
- ra88it 13y agoNo, he agrees with you. He thinks pretending like it rang and rang without you noticing it could be considered a considerate gesture under certain circumstances.
- gotrecruit 13y agoon many android phones, you can also simply flip the phone over to face down and it will stop ringing.
