How do I reject a call on slide to answer?

So I’ve recently switched to 15.4.1 and it always gives me the slide to answer option when receiving a call and I can’t really seem to figure out how the heck I am supposed to reject it.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello Sterx,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. Here is a set of instructions on how to decline a call on your iPhone 13 Pro max.


Answer or decline incoming calls on iPhone - Apple Support


"Silence a call

Press the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model) or either volume button.

You can still answer a silenced call until it goes to voicemail.

Decline a call and send it directly to voicemail

Do one of the following:

  • Press the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model) twice quickly.
  • Tap the Decline Call button.
  • Swipe up on the call banner.

You can also swipe down on the call banner for more options.

A screen showing a notification of an incoming call at the top. The Decline and Accept buttons are at the top right.

Do any of the following:

  • Tap Remind Me, then choose when you want a reminder to return the call.
  • Tap Message, then choose a default reply or tap Custom.
  • To create your own default replies, go to Settings  > Phone > Respond with Text, then tap any default message and replace it with your own text.

Note: In some countries or regions, declined calls are disconnected without being sent to voicemail."



Cheers!
