How do I put a call on hold using the Apple Watch 10


To put a call on hold using the Apple Watch 10, follow these steps:

1. Answering the Call: When you receive a call, raise your wrist to see the notification and tap on it to answer the call directly on your Apple Watch.

2. Putting the Call on Hold: If you want to put the call on hold instead of answering it on the watch, tap the option that says "Answer on iPhone." This action will not answer the call on your Apple Watch but will place it on hold, allowing you to answer it later on your paired iPhone. The caller will hear a repeated sound while waiting for you to pick up[1][2].

3. Switching Between Devices: If you are already on a call and wish to switch it to your iPhone, unlock your iPhone and tap the green button or bar at the top of the screen to continue the conversation there[1].

4. Adjusting Call Settings: While on a call, you can adjust volume using the Digital Crown or mute your microphone by tapping the mute button[2].

This process allows you to manage calls effectively between your Apple Watch and iPhone, providing flexibility in how you handle incoming calls.
