How to reject an incoming phone call on iOS 7?

You can reject calls from your iPhone in iOS7:

Settings>Notification Center>INCLUDE Phone> Banners

Save your settings, and try to receive a call, you'll find the Remind Me & Message buttons appear. When you select Message, you'll see the default messages.

Enjoy

I have concluded that the only way to truely do what I want, drop the call, is to answer and immediately hang up. Too bad there isn't an App for that.!

The sole focus of all the current functions and features is to never lose a call. Answer and immediately hang up. Not sophisticated or smooth but effective.

big respect u r the first one to get it its not bug so kindly i may ask all IPhone users running ios 7 to give apple a feedback about design and easy of use of this feature thanks guys 🙂

The solution with answer/hangup increases the costs of those who call. If it is your wife or spouse then it is you who will pay for missing Decline button....

@JurajBartos

The purpose of including an option to truely reject calls was never intended to be for family or simply inconvenient calls. This necessary option is for cases such as the endlessly repeated harassing sales calls from those who simply will not take no for an answer. Answer/hangup is a solution that is born of something close to desperation for a solution to a problem that iOS7 currently does not address.

I would not need to reject any calls from my family as long as all members would have unlimited calls monthly.

But since this is impossible, I used Decline very often and especially with my family members, who did not have unlimited calls and called them back using Missed Calls list on the lock screen.

It worked flawlessly with 6.x Pity 7.x omits Decline function, especially if it already was implemented.

I understand your issue and the decline function sounds like a great solution for your issue. My unsupported problem is different. I don't ever want to return certain calls or be reminded of them.

I understand, I am not forced to reject calls like these so far, but the option called Block this Caller in Recents could help you...

The sort of caller I am concerned with hides their number from Caller ID. Otherwise your suggestion would be the perfect solution.

I see. In this case Apple should learn from the "jailbroken" side (as they learnt already in other cases). Namely from iBlacklist - a perfect solution for blocking or better said filtering calls, including those with "Unknown caller ID".

A simple effective solution would seem to be the option to block all calls where the caller is hiding the Caller ID. Then, other unwanted calls could be handled by adding to a blocked calls list. That solution would not be popular with the powerful cold calling comunity that has a lot of money to spend.

Yes really it is very painful....to call back the same number While driving ... So... Kindly update----apple.....

Here is some news that's most awaited for most of the folks in this thread.

Check this out

This is the wannabe feature and it is most likely to be available alongside iOS 7.1 update. This is going to be the first big update since iOS 7.

For more info on other improvements to iOS do check this link. Circle is again dominating the shape contest in iOS and also minor improvements in colors (app icons and keyboard layout).

@narey

you dont have the beta installed right?

because nothing changes.

if the iphone is locked, there´s no "decline" circle.

the screenshot you linked to applies only to unlocked iphone (like it was before).
