Is there a way to have phone calls show up in a banner while using the phone rather than it interrupting whatever I’m doing? I see the toggle in settings but it still interrupts.

I think we’re losing the true definition of a phone. No matter how our phone has evolved over the years adding so many features, it’s still a phone and the main function of this device is to make and receive a phone calls. If you take that away, this device should not be called a phone anymore. On an iPad, your call will come as a banner and you can simply swipe that away and ignore it and that make sense because it’s not a phone.
If the call still shows up without taking over what your doing its still a phone, just not an invasive phone when unwanted spam calls come through.
Unfortunately these phones are rarely used for calls anymore. Its too easy to handle communication other than making an actual call. Truth be told, calls are the most annoying aspect of phones nowadays.
Unfortunately this is something iOS has ignored. Its very annoying and its been asked for for years but still nothing.
First I've heard of it being a requested feature.
In case of spam calls, press the power button twice and end the call.
That way you get to continue with what you were doing.
I like it as is. That way I can switch to the new caller if need be, or tap to dismiss.
Google “ios incoming call banner” and you’ll find posts on this forum, reddit etc and even youtube videos asking for it.
I could search for iOS showing a pole dancer every time a call comes in if I wanted. Doesn't mean it's a heavily requested feature.
I get that, but it still takes over the entire screen.
Then I guess the requests dont exist.
I gotta say, Ive never seen a more argumentative group on a forum before. Even when I was a member here years ago I dont ever remember these forums being this bad.
Why would a banner for the incoming call prevent that?
I thought you meant either or. If it does both, you still get what annoys you. Maybe a setting in settlngs > phone to set how we prefer alerts for calls during calls. You can request it here:
