Apple is working on a feature to allow Siri to send a smart response to callers whose calls you've declined

According to the patent published by the US Patent and Trademark Office, the tech giant is reportedly working to make its digital assistant Siri to help provide the caller with a reason on why the call was rejected through a text message. An Apple patent application has surfaced that shows the company is exploring ways to make declining a call on an iPhone a more “pleasant experience” in the future. “An Apple patent application published for ‘Intelligent Digital Assistant for Declining an Incoming Call’ aims to fix the problem by having Siri or another digital assistant automatically work out why the call cannot be accepted,” AppleInsider reported late on Thursday. According to the patent application, the procedure starts when an incoming video or voice call is detected, thus, prompting the smart assistant to attempt to acquire as much data about the user’s situation as possible.
