While it’s hardly the height of politeness, many people related to the situation of being on a call they wanted to end.

Perhaps you’ve picked up a call from a number you don’t recognise, or even from a friend or family member but aren’t really in the mood to chat.

Appearing on the YouTube series Unfiltered with Zane and Heath, social media personality Woah Vicky shared her way of getting out of a smartphone call quickly.

A clip from the show has been shared on TikTok where it has since gone viral.

In the video, Vicky’s phone rings as she’s talking to the hosts, she admits she doesn’t know who it is calling but reluctantly answers.

She says: “Oh wassup.” Vicky then starts to say something else, but while she’s talking she can be seen switching her phone to Airplane Mode.

“I do this to people when I wanna hang up,” she confesses, showing her phone screen.

She goes on to explain that by turning airplane mode on, the call is disconnected and a message is sent to the other person saying “call failed” instead of “call ended”.

So it looks as if Vicky was cut off, not like she hung up on them.

“That is genius,” proclaimed one of the guys. Vicky nods, adding: “I always do that. It will say reconnecting.”

But the sneaky part is that it won’t reconnect.

More than 11 million people have since watched the clip, with it garnering over two million likes on the @unfiltered account.
