Oppo: Turn Flip to Mute Incoming Calls On or Off

If your Oppo phone keeps ringing loudly during meetings even after you flip it face-down on the table, the flip-to-mute gesture might be turned off. This gesture silences an incoming call the moment the screen faces down, but only when it is enabled in the gesture settings. Some users also find the opposite problem: calls go silent unexpectedly whenever the phone lies flat.

Turn On or Off Flip to Mute Incoming Calls auf Oppo

The Flip to mute incoming calls gesture belongs to the gesture controls of Coloros. When it is active, placing your Oppo phone screen-down while it rings stops the ringtone immediately, without touching a volume button or unlocking the display.

This behavior works independently from the general ringtone volume and from Do Not Disturb. If the gesture is off, flipping the phone has no effect on an incoming call, and the ringtone keeps playing until you answer, decline, or the call times out.

Where to find the setting

Open SettingsConvenience toolsGestures & motions and look for Flip to mute incoming calls. Tap the toggle to switch it on or off.

Turn it on if you often place your phone face-down on a desk or table during calls and want a quick, silent way to cut the ringtone. Turn it off if the phone accidentally mutes calls while lying flat in a bag, a case, or on a soft surface.

Keep in mind this gesture only mutes the ringtone. It does not decline the call or send it to voicemail, and the caller keeps hearing normal ringing tones until the call is answered, declined, or the timeout is reached.

Frequently asked questions

No, flipping only mutes the ringtone locally. The call keeps ringing normally on the caller's side until you answer, decline, or it reaches the timeout.
