    I like the idea of following the pattern by having the smaller green phone circle behind the red hang up circle, indicating that the call you’re on stays open.

    Just because people are used to it doesn’t mean it’s good design, but also thankfully it is not my job to design an alternative.

      That’s unnecessary though, because of course declining the incoming call means you stay on the call you’re already on.

          I’m going to assume you aren’t an iPhone user, correct? That’s all this is really - people who don’t use iPhones, who dislike Apple/iPhones, ragging on a UI that makes perfect sense in the context it’s used.

            That’s not what im saying. I dont dislike apple, I am just seeing the design with fresh eyes, since I haven’t been using it for years. Let’s just say that this design is not universally clear.

            We don’t live in a vacuum, so i am not suggesting changing something that people are already familiar with. Anyway, that is not my job. I’m just commenting on a meme.

              The design is clear when you look at the entire screen and not just the bottom section like the screenshot has. Context matters.

              This is the “incoming call” screen. It’s not the “already in a call” screen. The decline button is the same button as if you weren’t already in a call, because that’s what it does - decline the incoming call. It gives you 2 options to answer the incoming call in regards to your existing call. The only other option would be “end current call and decline incoming call”, but that’s not an option that anyone would ever really use.

              As it is, it’s perfect for the context that it’s seen in. The OP has removed all that context though, which is adding to the confusion people are having.

              Does that make a bit more sense now?

                I hear what you’re saying, but i have definitely borrowed an iphone, gotten an incoming call, and seen that big “hang up” icon (you would say decline). Since none of the buttons seemed safe while my attention was on the call (did not parse the “decline”), I’m pretty sure I just ignored the whole acreen until it went away.

                If you are used to iphones and “incoming call” screens, I’m sure it does not confuse you, but again, it is not a universal design.
