Maybe this is more of a relationship problem than a tech problem, but hear me out.

Sometimes someone (usually your partner) calls when you're not in the right headspace to talk. You don't want to answer, but you also don't want to reject the call because that can feel rude or make things worse.

So you press the volume button to silence the ringtone. The problem is, if they keep calling, your phone rings again... and you have to keep pressing the volume button every single time.

I wish there was a feature where, after silencing the first call, any repeated calls from the same person stayed silent for the next 15–30 minutes without rejecting them. The caller would still hear it ring normally, but your phone would stay silent until you're ready.

Am I the only one who runs into this, or would anyone else actually use a feature like this?
