Hello. Is it possible to use ”hang up” to refer to end a phone call without anger ?Or it’s just used to talk about ending a phone call unexpectedly?

Most definitely yes. ”to hang up” when referring to finishing a phone call was from a long time ago when telephones were on walls and you would literally ”hang up” the receiver when you finished the phone call.

”to hang up on sb” means to either end the phone call unexpectedly or to finish the phone call angrily.
