If you have ever come across a situation where you want to end the call on your iPhone without seeming rude, then we have just the trick that will allow you to do so with minimal guilt. We are all familiar with just one technique to end the call, and that is to hang up, but it seems rude, considering the other person would know that you deliberately dropped the call. Well, there's a neat little trick that will allow you to fake a dropped call on your iPhone, and we will teach you how you can do it.
How to end the call on your iPhone without seeming rude
As we have mentioned earlier, if you hang up the phone, the other person will get the "Call Ended" message, which means that you intentionally cut the call while in the middle of the conversation. If the call was dropped due to network issues or poor coverage, the other person would get the "Call Failed" message, assuring the person that the call was accidentally dropped.
Well, there is a way through which you can fake a dropped call, and it is as easy as it sounds. You do not even require a third-party app to accomplish the task, as everything rests in the Control Center. Simply follow the instructions below to fake a dropped call on your iPhone. Be sure to follow the steps when you are on the phone call.
Step 1: During the phone call, simply bring down the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the display.
Step 2: Once you do that, simply tap on Airplane Mode. This will ensure that your iPhone is cut off from all types of networks, Wi-Fi and cellular.
This is all that you have to do to fake a dropped call, and the the person on the other end would see the "Call Failed" message instead of "Call Ended". Enabling the Airplane mode can be done through the Settings app as well as the Control Center. The quickest way is through the Control Center, as it is located right on the tip of your finger, and you can access it anytime. The best part about the technique is that it works on cellular calls as well as calls made through internet messaging apps, such as WhatsApp.
Once the call has ended, you can turn on Airplane mode to resume your usage. The Airplane button would turn orange when you enable it and grayed out when you disable it. How did you like this nifty trick? Let us know in the comments.
