One of the better new features in iOS 6 is the ability to reply to phone calls with an automated text message. But some people don’t know how to access this feature yet.

It’s pretty easy. To access the new phone features, just swipe up from the bottom right hand corner of the screen when receiving a call.

There, you’ll see the options to either reply with a text message, including custom messages, or set a reminder for later.
