How to reject an incoming phone call on iOS 7?

same here with ios 7.2 for my i phone 5, what a mess with apple so much bugs, ringer problem, photo problem, call rejection problem, contact photo problem etc. what the team was doing while testing it since months.

I don't think was thought through. To press the lock button you have to apply more force and this is not ideal when driving. I have found many new features of this upgrade more hazardous for a person using a docking station in the car. So now, I turn off the iPhone as soon as I get in the care because the few things that were safe to use now have been removed. A simple answer and reject button was ideal.

Yeah, i am facing the same problem. But i dont want to keep me reminded for some anonymous calls.

But they could have kept both the options. Remind me, message, decline and Answer by default.

I have this problem as well of not getting an option to reject the calls since i installed ios7. And my screen lock/unlock button is not working properly. I will get my phone changed because its under warrantly but still I avoid using the button because it stops working after using it for some time. Its a major problem in iphone 5. Me and some people i know have faced the same issue.

Hit "remind me later" goes to voicemail.

Thnx. Short, crisp & to the point reply. Worked well

Using the sleep button to reject calls as the only option is UNACCEPTABLE, unless there is a message onscreen telling you that it is what you can do at the moment that a call is coming in. Using basic features in iOS 7 should be intuitive, and not something that you have learn by searching the Internet. Swiping up to reveal the RED reject button was an iOS 6 feature that I used quite frequently and the iOS 7 team should not have removed it.

And yet they did. Submit your feedback to Apple, get over it and move on.

Best of luck.

First of all sorry to reply late.

Press the power button twice to decline a call when your iphone is in locked state.

That has been mentioned a couple of times. In this thread.

Even the iphone 5s doesnt not have a call reject option on the lock screen. Major let down. I cant belive i spent $650 for this 😟

Apple are you guys going to do something about this! 😕

OMG!!! For years I have wandered back and forth between iPhone and Androids, with definitely a growing disparity in favor of Android/Samsung over the past couple of years. Here I am a couple of days into iPhone 5s ownership, and I'm searching for solutions to fix something so absolutely basic. This no decline button situation is ridiculous! Nothing that I've read here has worked for me, unfortunately. Unbelievable.

OMG!!! Not even double tapping the power button? It works for me every time.

Actually we are getting decline button only when the phone is not locked. If the phone is locked, there is no reject option at all except this double pressing of lock button.

Yes, that is the expected behavior. You are seening exactly what you're supposed to be seeing.
