Cannot reject incoming calls

[Kyriakosss4]

Hi, as per title, I cannot reject incoming calls when on lockscreen. The only option is to swipe right to answer the call. pressing twice the side button only turns off the screen. Any help would be appreciated. Iphone 13 pm on the latest firmware

afaik this is no longer possible. make a feature request, the more people do that, the more likely it is that apple get‘s it’s head out of it‘s bottom.

^^This. Been ages that this is how it works (can't recall if it ever did have a reject button on lock screen).

Can tap the power button twice to reject from lock screen.

Tapping the power button twice does not work for me though. The only way is to disable that accessibility settings that disables power button from ending call, but this would end every active call when turning off the screen by pressing the power button once.

The article was last updated in 2015 but states that you can only swipe to answer on the lock screen, so rejecting a call has probably never been a thing.

Anyway, double-tapping the Power button is the way to do it as @NoBoMac says (if you've not got Accessibility/Touch settings switched on).

Well, I had my expectations high when moved to ios, but there so many things left unimplemented...

Not unimplemented, but by design. Protects from ”butt answering”. When phone pocketed or basically not actively using the phone, could accidentally tap on one of the options vs if using phone and call comes in, more ”aware”.

Cmon, really?? There should be an option to enable or disable such a feature..

Apple doesn't care about options anymore. They've decided they know better than you how you'd like to live your life.

You can do this. You press the side button. If you are pressing it too quickly, you might be going to wallet.

Press it once to silence the incoming call, wait 500ms, press it again to decline the call. I use this regularly, iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17 beta (it worked before 17, too)

tried many times, no luck. The screen simply turns on again. Do you have the "prevent side button..." Thing turned on in the accessibility settings?
