What does a canceled call mean on iPhone? How to hang up a call without taking out your phone
You've probably noticed that sometimes there is a Reject button on your iPhone screen when there is an incoming call, and sometimes there isn't.
The “Reject” button makes it very easy to reject a call. However, many users do not know what to do when it is not on the screen.
The main thing you need to understand is what makes the difference. The Reject button only appears on an unlocked iPhone. When your phone is locked, you'll only see a slider that says "Reply," a "Remind" button that lets you add a reminder to call the person back, and a "Message" button. On an unlocked smartphone, in addition to all these same buttons, there are two main ones - “Reject” and “Reply”.

One of these issues is precisely the normal reset incoming call on your device. This function is probably one of the most vital in any phone.
So that you can understand everything, I will give examples from real life situations. There will be as many situations as there are opportunities for deviation incoming call on any iPhone.
Situation 1: reset when iPhone is locked
If your iPhone received a new call while it was in a locked state, then when you pick it up you will see a slider for answering. Usually just swipe from left to right.
You won't be able to find any reset buttons on the screen. But don’t forget about the physical buttons, namely the power button.
Clicking on it once: the sound and vibration are turned off, but the call continues. And by clicking on it a second time, you get the desired result.

When you are using your phone and suddenly a call comes in, you can also use the red touch button to reject the call. 
Or press again Power button, which is located at the top or right of your device.
Situation 3: hang up, but don’t forget to call back
This is exactly the situation that the developers of everyone’s favorite manufacturer have provided for in our iPhone. Let's say a call comes to your phone and it doesn't matter whether it's blocked or not. 
In both cases the option will be available Remind me later. Moreover, there are three options for reminders: exactly one hour later, when you leave home, or when you come home.

In such a situation, we can use regular SMS. By clicking on the right Message we get three at once ready-made templates: I'm on the way, I'll call you later, I can't talk right now.
Or in the fourth option Other We get into a regular SMS dialogue with this person and quickly write him the required text.
Sometimes the iPhone has problems processing incoming and outgoing calls. At the same time, the operator’s network icon can show a high level of signal reception and transmission. Let's take a closer look at what to do if the iPhone does not receive calls and how to return this function to the phone.
Types of problems and their causes
Incorrect handling of calls may manifest itself in one of the following ways:
- The notification about a new call does not appear on the screen, and after the call ends, the “Missed” icon appears in the notification center. The reason for this type of error is incorrect setting voicemail features. The phone automatically redirects any signal to it, so you learn about the presence of an incoming call after it is reset;
- There is no ringing or vibration during a call, but a call notification is displayed on the screen. In this case, you should check the operation of the speakers and, if necessary, replace them with new ones;
- There is no connection on the phone, even if the SIM card is inserted into the phone. The cause of the malfunction is the incorrect placement of the card in the tray or a hardware failure of the communication module.
First aid - correct iPhone setup
First, check to see if the ringer on/off key has been pressed. And turn up the volume on your smartphone. If you hardly hear a call, but it appears on the screen, you need to monitor the device's sound settings.
Even if the system's sound is set to full high level, you need to adjust the input volume separately because the two settings are different from each other.
Turn off Do Not Disturb mode. The convenience of this option is that you can use your gadget as usual, but they won’t be able to call you and disturb your peace. Many users simply forget to disable this option. Go to the notification center or device settings and deactivate the “do not disturb” slider.
To stop constantly sending a call to voicemail You should reset your phone via iTunes.
Also, starting with iOS 9, the following bug was noticed in the device, due to which the iPhone does not accept incoming calls. If during an incoming call your phone is lying on the surface with the screen down, the call will be heard, but the incoming call will not be displayed on the screen itself. How then to rise to the challenge?
To do this you need to open the list running applications(all window open tabs). The call panel will be available on the second screen. This bug has not yet been fixed by Apple and may appear on iPhones from time to time.
Gadget repair
If you encounter a problem where your iPhone not only ignores incoming calls, but also does not recognize the operator’s network at all, you should check the operation of the smartphone’s hardware parts. First, try using a friend's SIM card. In 90% of cases, failure to receive a signal is due to the blocking of the existing SIM.
You may be inserting the card into the SIM tray incorrectly. It should be installed as shown in the figure:
If problems with the signal appear regardless of the SIM card, you should replace the GSM antenna. New part can be purchased at an iPhone parts store. Before starting the repair, make sure that you have a set of necessary tools: a spudger, screwdrivers, tweezers, a suction cup for the screen.
