Introduction: How Does Mute Work?
The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a feature that mutes the phone, which affects both your in-call audio and your speakerphone. This allows the entire device to be silenced while still swapping out with incoming calls. If you don’t want to mute an incoming call but instead would like to talk to someone privately on your phone, you can also turn down the volume of their voice so that you will not hear them over all other audio. This is only possible when a call is in process. For example, if you are walking down the street and need to get someone’s attention over the phone and do not want them to hear all of your conversation, you can press your home button, which will bring up an options menu. Turn down the volume of the phone speaker on this menu, allowing you to hear just their voice while others around you cannot.
What Happens When You Mute Someone?
When you mute a phone call, all of the audio from the conversation is muted including any video and other sounds. All communication is cut off. You cannot hear your contact or they cannot hear you. This works for both in-person calls and phone calls. If you want to keep the quiet but turn down their volume, you can use the volume tool on your screen.
As with any type of communication, this doesn’t always go as planned. It can be quite frustrating when you accidentally mute the wrong person or someone you are talking to takes offense that you’re not paying attention to them. Everyone has had at least one experience like this. If it happens to you, don’t worry about it because there are a few things that can happen after being muted.
Just because someone is muted doesn’t mean they won’t hear your voice. If you use your actual phone, the other person can hear what you are saying. If you are using the speakerphone function, they can hear your voice in a regular tone. If all external sounds are muted, then they cannot hear your voice at all.
How Do I Un-Mute Myself from an Incoming Phone Call?
If you are on the phone with someone and wish to unmute them, simply press down on the home button and slide off your finger. This will give you a 3-step option menu. The first step is to select “Mute” or “Unmute”. After pressing the selection, your phone will unmute the calling party. If you do not wish to permanently mute your phone, you can use the next option to change the volume. The only thing left that you need is the ability to accept or reject calls from this person again. This can be done by simply rejecting their call.

Conclusion: How To Un-Mute Yourself From a Call or Contact On Android or iOS Devices
The “Contact” list is simply a list of your contacts that you have saved in your phone. To unmute someone and restore their ability to call you or be called, you need to go through this list. The next step is to select the contact, which will allow you to see all of their information. From here, you need to select “Phone” to begin the call again. This will clear out any previous calls that were made and allow you to start the connection over again.
