Does iPhone have a lift to answer feature and if so how do you turn it on? For example lift the phone to your ear and a call will be answered.

Raise to Speak is available only for Siri


You may try this feature instead. You do not have to raise or lift at all. Just answer calls.

1) Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.

2) Tap General → Accessibility → Call Audio Routing.
