How to Mute Call From One Person on Samsung Phone

Do you want to mute incoming calls or alarms without pressing a button on your Galaxy phone? This post will teach you on how to mute calls from one person on a Samsung phone.

Unexpected calls can come in at any time, and you have to fiddle with your smartphone to mute them, which might take a little too long in some situations. Thankfully, Samsung Galaxy handsets offer a gesture that lets you flip your phone over to silence an incoming call.

Meanwhile, a Samsung function called Mute With Gestures lets you rapidly mute incoming calls and alarms by laying your palm on the screen. This feature is also referred to as Easy Mute or Turn Over to Mute. On many Galaxy smartphones, you can silence the calls and alarms by placing the device face down on a flat surface like a desk or table. Samsung phones and tablets running Android 6 and above can access this function.

Test Mute with Gestures 

Mute With Gestures can be tested in two simple ways to see if it functions as it should. On your smartphone or tablet, you may set an alarm to sound one minute after you set it. Put your palm on your screen to silence the alarm when it starts to ring. You can also make a call to your phone from another phone (or request a call) and then set the phone down on a desk or table as it starts to ring.

That’s all. These were the steps to mute calls from one person or alarm on your Samsung phone by putting your hand over the screen or turning your phone face down.
