The latest OS version, iOS 6, has recently emerged in the technology market. The iOS 6 has many functionalities that help enhance user experience and define day-to-day activities easily. This OS can enable many functionalities that directly affect a user’s life; for example, when we talk about the ability to decline calls while setting a message reminder, it greatly helps. For instance, if you are busy with some other work and immediately get a ring that you cannot attend to at the moment, then you will have to put it off, but at the same time, it is essential to call back. Now, with iOS 6, you can set a reminder. Similarly, other functionalities can be enabled, like sending a predefined message to the caller and utilizing FaceTime functionality. Let us learn tips on how to use these features.
Sending messages, set a callback reminder on iOS 6
In iOS 6, there is a functionality wherein you can decline an incoming call and swipe a message immediately. This way, the caller will be notified with a text that you are busy, stating why you rejected your call. You can even set a reminder to call back to avoid missing out on important calls. This can be done by defining preset messages you can customize at your convenience, Globeinform.
As soon as you receive a phone call, you will see a phone icon at the bottom right of the screen. If you want to decline the call, slide this icon upwards, and you will see two options: Reply with Message and Remind Me Later.
Now select the option to Reply with a message to decline the call. You will again get the option of sending three letters to the caller. You can tap to select a predefined message or customize a message. To customize a message, go to the Custom Option and compose a message.
Another thing you can do is save some custom messages that you can send as responses when you decline a call. This way, you can immediately choose from the list of your defined messages instead of the predefined templates. You can compose messages that include responses that will follow the schedule. For example, if you are busy in meetings throughout the day, you can write a message telling the caller that you are busy with meetings. For this, apply the following steps:
Settings- > Phone- > Reply with Message
Now, you will reach the text composing section, where you can enter text to define your message.
If you are declining a caller only to call later, you have another option: setting a reminder. This can be done by:
Set a Reminder>Time> Set Reminder
Now, you can set a reminder as per your schedule so that you will be reminded to call back later.
