Quickly silence your smartphone

With most smartphones today all you have to do is press ANY physical button on your phone and it will immediately silence the phone when it begins to ring.

You don't even have to take it out of your purse or pocket to search for the "Decline" button.  Simply stick your hand into your purse or pocket and squeeze the phone; you are almost guaranteed to press one of the side buttons!  (However, you might want to take a look at your phone to learn where those buttons are located and even practice pressing those buttons while not looking at the phone.)

Apple Watch users even have a faster way to silence their phones; simply place your hand on the watch face and your phone will immediately go silent!  How cool is that!
