How to Enable Auto-Answer Calls on iPhone 14

This post will walk you through activating an iOS 16 accessibility feature that prompts your iOS device to automatically answer an incoming call after a certain period of time. Here’s a quick guide to enable auto-answer calls on the Apple iPhone 14 smartphone.

By then, you should be all set to answer phone calls without having to touch your iPhone screen.

Whenever an incoming call arrives, sliding the screen to answer is no longer needed as your device automatically does that for.

Such a feature is definitely very handy for iPhone owners with motor impairment that may delay them from answering or taking a phone call.

Aside from phone calls, auto-answer calls also work with other types of calls such as FaceTime calls as well as calls from apps like WhatsApp and Skype.

This accessibility feature is also available for iPads running on iOS 13 and later versions. 

To stop your iPhone from answering calls automatically, just follow the above steps to head back to the Accessibility settings, particularly in the Call Audio Routing menu where you can find the Auto-Answer Calls switch. Once you get there, simply tap the switch to turn the feature OFF.

And that’s how you configure your iPhone 14 to automatically answer an incoming call after a few seconds or minutes of ringing.
