Set up Auto-Answer Calls with Siri

Did you know you can use Siri to turn on auto-answer calls on your iPhone?

Some users that find navigating touch screens difficult like to set up their iPhone to auto answer incoming calls. If you are one of these types of users, at one stage you would have needed assistance to set this up but since iOS 16 you can now toggle this feature on or off with Siri.

Just say, “Hey Siri turn Auto-Answer calls on”. Siri will respond, “OK I turned Auto-Answer calls on”. But you may not need to have this feature turned on all the time so you can turn it off by saying, “Hey Siri turn Auto-Answer calls off”. This gives an extra bit of independence for a very useful feature for some iPhone users.
