I take a lot of my calls while outside on walks with my dogs during the COVID-19 shut down, so it would be nice to be able to quickly mute/unmute myself without unlocking my phone (the Watch app isn’t always responsive).

When I’m on a meeting with Microsoft Teams, I get the same lock screen as I would if I were in a phone call, with a mute button, video button (instead of FaceTime), etc.

If I were to ask for an additional feature, it would be to integrate with the iPhone phone app. Genius! Something Apple should adapt for their normal phone functionality. I especially love that there is an Apple Watch app when you’re in a meeting, the Watch app pops up and is basically just a large mute/unmute button. I attend all of my WebEx meetings exclusively on iPhone app now so that I can keep working separately on desktop during meetings. Most audio issues I’ve experienced are caused from users: bad microphone, not talking close enough to microphone, not muting themselves when dialing in, etc. I’ve never experienced any issues related to the app. Cisco Webex may collect meeting usage data and personal information, such as your email address, from your computer or device.

Schiller linked to Cisco’s 2014 annual security report covering mobile malware trends over the last year, which happens to highlight a rise in malware on Android as one of its key takeaways: Like he has done before, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller has taken to his Twitter account to share a new report highlighting a much higher amount of security threats on Android compared to iOS.
