I made 2 successive calls within 2 minutes to the same number, neither of which was answered. On my end the phone rang for the same approximate duration until the calls went to voice mail. Yet when I checked the duration of the calls (Motorola Edge Plus 5g UW 2022) the first call registered 8 seconds while the second only registered 2 seconds. Does that mean that the second call was declined? edit: I forgot to mention that I hang up as soon as the call goes to voicemail. Thank you in advance
From what you describe, neither call looks declined. A declined call usually goes to voicemail after one ring or sooner, and both of yours rang for about the same time.
The 8 and the 2 seconds don’t count the ringing. The call log counts the time a call was connected, and a call counts as connected once voicemail answers it. So both numbers are time spent connected to voicemail before the call ended. I can’t tell from here why one ran 6 seconds longer, but that isn’t a sign of a decline.
One thing the log can’t show: if someone lets it ring the whole time and then presses decline, your log looks the same as for a call nobody touched.
