Just to set the record straight, double tapping the power/side button only works if the iPhone is locked, if it is unlocked and a call comes in you have to tap the Decline button.
Furthermore, dou blwe pressing the power/side button sends the call directly to voice mail, if you do this after the phone rings once the caller gets voice mail right away, they won't get first another 3 or 4 rings until voice mail kicks in. If you want to simply silence the the ringing and let voice mail pick up after the normal amount of rings press either of the volume buttons or the power button once. Many people know that if they get voice mail after 1 or 2 rings that their call was deliberately sent to voice mail so if you want to simply pretend you aren't near your phone or just aren't able to pick it up, silence the ringing and then after the caller hears a few more rings they are sent to voice mail. Below is an article from Apple support which explains all the options for call management and it also gives a description of where the various buttons are on the screen (this was the first search result when I Googled "How to decline a call on iPhone"): Manage Incoming Calls on iPhone - Apple Support<https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iph3c9947bf/ios> Best regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Sunday, July 5, 2020 4:04 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Declining incoming calls. I have seen the decline button. I just had to keep swiping the screen with one finger and going through different options. You have to be kind of quick though because you'll only see the decline button when the phone is wringing. Thanks for the tip about the double press of the power button.
