Why does iPhone sometimes not let you decline calls?

If you are using an iPhone, you have probably encountered a very awkward situation when you want to reject a call from someone, but the screen only has the option "slide to answer".

But there are also times when you can choose to "Accept" or "Reject". This makes you curious and ask why is that so?

Why does iPhone sometimes not let you decline calls?

The secret behind this iPhone phenomenon is the screen lock feature.

When your phone is locked and a call comes in, you will only have the option of "slide to answer", but when the phone is unlocked, you can choose "Accept" or "Decline". Actually, Apple has their reasons for creating this feature.

When your phone is unlocked, you may be busy replying to messages, emails, using social media, etc., so you choose to decline the call to get back to what you were doing. But if your phone is locked, you need to slide to unlock and answer the call.

What is the benefit of this feature?

The more important reason for this feature of the iPhone is to avoid auto-dialing, which is when the user accidentally performs some unwanted operation on the phone while keeping the phone in the pocket.

If the "Accept" and "Decline" buttons are on the lock screen, it's easier to accidentally press one of them while your phone is in your pocket without having to hold the button and slide it with your finger.

However, there is a little trick that not everyone knows to help you reject incoming calls on iPhone even when the screen is locked. Press the power button once on the phone to mute the call. Press the power button twice to reject any call when the phone is locked.
