Summary
- There are two ways of answering an incoming call on an iPhone, depending on whether the phone is locked or unlocked.
- Some believe that Apple only shows the “slide to answer” function when an iPhone is locked to force the user to accept the call.
- However, this is a preventative measure to avoid inadvertent answers or declines.
- When the iPhone is unlocked, the user has the option to accept or decline the call, with prompts appearing as a banner or taking up the full screen.
- Buttons for silencing or declining a call are available both when the phone is locked and unlocked.
- These can be found by pressing the side button twice quickly, or by pressing the side button or volume button.
