With each iOS update, Siri has evolved to become a better digital assistant. You can use Siri shortcuts for apps like Safari, Mail, and Messages to access useful features without touching your iPhone. And with the release of iOS 16, Siri can also take control of your calls.
iOS 16 introduced a new Pause Call feature for Siri, allowing you to end a call without pressing an on-screen button. To enable this hands-free experience, here’s how to use Siri to end calls on iPhone.
We used an iPhone running iOS 16 Public Beta to take screenshots for this post. This feature will be available for at least iPhone 11 and later models running iOS 16 or later. This feature is not available for iPad.
What is the benefit of this feature
Using Siri to end a call lets you enjoy a hands-free experience – whether it’s a regular voice call or a FaceTime call. For example, you’re driving or cooking in the kitchen while on a voice call or FaceTime call. In that case, this feature will help disconnect the call without making you reach for the End Call button on your iPhone.
This feature is a great addition to the Phone and FaceTime apps as a native option. Otherwise, it will be a bit complicated, like Siri shortcuts for Safari on iPhone. You need to make sure that your iPhone runs the latest iOS 16. You can check the same by following these steps.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap General.
Step 3: Tap on Software Update.
Step 4: If you see an update for iOS 16, download and install it.
Check if ‘Listen to Hey Siri’ is enabled
Before proceeding with this step of activating the feature, make sure that you have Siri set up on your iPhone as this is something you may have forgotten when you set up your iPhone. If you’ve done that already, here’s how you can check if the ‘Hey Siri’ function is enabled on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap Siri and Search.
Step 3: Tap the switch next to Listen to “Hey Siri” to enable the feature if it was previously disabled.
Enabling this feature is important, especially if you want to use Siri’s End Call feature while using a wireless headset during your calls. Unfortunately, this feature will not work on your iPhone if your headphones do not support the ‘Hey Siri’ function unlike Apple Airpods, Apple Airpods Pro and Sony WF-SP800N.
Alternatively, if you have an iPhone X or younger, you can also use Siri’s End Call feature with the help of Apple Airpods and Beats Headphones that support the ‘Hey Siri’ function.
How to turn on the Siri call hang up feature
For devices running iOS 16, this feature is enabled by default. But just to be sure, here’s how you can enable it on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap Siri and Search.
Step 3: Click Hang up call.
Step 4: If the feature isn’t already on, tap the toggle next to Hang up to turn it on.
Let us show you how you can use this feature on your iPhone.
How to use Siri call hang up
Siri Call Hang-up works for regular phone calls and FaceTime calls with your contacts. Whenever you are on a call, just say “Hey Siri, hang up” and your call will be disconnected instantly. But keep in mind that your contact will be able to hear you say this phrase.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t manually hang up a call on your iPhone or iPad, this feature gives you extra peace of mind by dropping calls hands-free.
Hands-free call management
Siri’s new Call Hang-up function is definitely a step forward to enjoying the hands-free calling experience on your iPhone. It’s a real help in some situations where you can’t manually end calls on your iPhone. We’ve also put together some solutions for when Siri stops working on your iPhone and Siri doesn’t play music from Apple Music. You can check out these posts if you have ever faced such problems.
