Unlock the Secret: How to faking a dropped call on your iPhone

faking a dropped call on your iPhone

This tiny tip will let you stop a call on your iPhone without coming out as impolite. Read on to find out how to make a phone call appear to have dropped.

The person on the other end of a call that you end on purpose will see a message on their phone that says “Call Ended” whenever you hang up a call on an iPhone. If the call had dropped because of bad cellular coverage, the message would have read “Call Failed,” which sounds a lot less intentional.

What happens if you want to hang up on a call without it seeming like you did so suddenly? Actually, Airplane mode allows you to accomplish this on an iPhone. When Airplane mode is turned on during a call, it terminates instantly and the other party hears “Call Failed,” as though you had no fault in the discussion ending. It’s sly, to be sure, but it works.

To activate Airplane Mode the fastest, use Control Center. From the upper-right corner of the screen, swipe down diagonally (swipe up from the bottom of the screen if your iPhone has a Home button). The green cellular button adjacent to the airplane-shaped button should then gray out. A plane symbol will likewise take the place of the cellular carrier name in the upper-left corner.

If you still seem to be on the conversation, you probably have Wi-Fi calling enabled. To turn it off, just hit the blue Wi-Fi button in Control Center. This should instantly cancel the call and all that the person on the other end will see is that the call “failed.”
