DIALING A NUMBER and accepting a call —that’s simple stuff, isn’t it? In many respects, yes: it’s a phone’s most basic function and a process we’ve been familiar with for many decades. But if you dig just a teeny bit beneath the surface of the iPhone’s Phone app, you’ll find there are so many more options at your disposal, from being able to decline a call and instantly let the caller know why, to popping someone on hold, hosting group chats, and reading the contents of a voicemail without having to go to the hassle of actually listening to them.
