How to put a call on hold from Apple Watch

There are several options available on the Apple Watch when we receive a call, what happens is that the ones that appear on the screen are to accept it or simply hang up. In this case, we are going to show you a little trick or we can even say "hidden function" that we are sure more than one of you does not know. Surely many others knew about it but it is important to share them so that everyone knows that they exist since Apple that I remember did not explain it during the watchOS presentation, so what we are going to show is how put a call on hold from your Apple Watch.

Well, it is not about hanging up or picking up since we have this quite clear and easy, it is about being able to send a message directly to this person who calls us or pick up and leave the call on hold to answer it from the iPhone. This will be great for us on numerous occasions and when we put the user on hold, the one that comes into action is Siri (his voice) that explain to the person who calls us that we put them on hold to talk to her in a moment.

To do this we simply have to make a gesture on the watch when receiving the call, this gesture is swipe from bottom to top and this menu will appear:

So these are silenced and when we can attend the call we only have to take the iPhone and press the button to take the call. Keep in mind that the call is picked up from the beginning, so the longer it takes to pick up the iPhone, the longer the other person will be on hold. For messages what it does directly is allow you to send a message to be able to say "I'll call you later" or similar. a great function for many situations that I personally did not know.

    Hello good! I have done the test, but the other person only hears a beep, but Siri does not warn him of anything. Do you have to have any option activated for this?
