How to receive fake calls on your iPhone to get you out of bad situations

It’s happened to all of us at one time or another. You’re on a date you want to get out of, in a mind-numbing meeting that you can’t leave, or at a boring gathering you’re trying to escape. Then suddenly, you receive a phone call that takes you away from the situation, and you’re free at last!

To make sure that you never have to go through that agony again, grab an app that makes that rescue phone call to you. Here’s how to receive fake calls on your iPhone to get you out of those bad situations.

Receiving and picking up a fake call on iPhone

How to get a fake call on your iPhone

  1. Get the free Fake Call app from the App Store and open it.
  2. By default, the app will call you after 3 seconds and show the caller’s name as Elon Musk. You can pick a Time from 3 seconds later to 1 hour later. And customize the Caller name by tapping it and selecting one from your contacts.
  3. Next, you can also change the ringtone, voice (that is spoken from the earpiece when you pick up the fake call), and wallpaper.
  4. Finally, with all set, tap Start Call.
  5. Choose an answer screen. In my opinion, the middle one looks original and is free.
  6. Your iPhone screen will turn black. Don’t lock the screen or go out of this Fake Call app. After the chosen time, you will receive a fake call. You can hit the red decline or green accept buttons. If you pick up the call, you will hear the voice you set in step 3.
  7. Once the call is done, double-tap on the screen or swipe up to exit the Fake Call app.
