AI Summary

When an iPhone is locked, incoming calls show only a “slide to answer” control, while an unlocked phone displays both answer and decline buttons in a banner or full‑screen view. The presence or absence of the decline option therefore depends on the lock state, not on any user‑made setting. Users can change how calls appear by adjusting the Incoming Calls setting in Settings, but the default behavior is built into iOS.
