How do I reject a call on slide to answer?

So I’ve recently switched to 15.4.1 and it always gives me the slide to answer option when receiving a call and I can’t really seem to figure out how the heck I am supposed to reject it.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Do one of the following:

You can also swipe down on the call banner for more options.

A screen showing a notification of an incoming call at the top. The Decline and Accept buttons are at the top right.

Do any of the following:

  • Tap Remind Me, then choose when you want a reminder to return the call.
  • Tap Message, then choose a default reply or tap Custom.
  • To create your own default replies, go to Settings  > Phone > Respond with Text, then tap any default message and replace it with your own text.
