iPhone incoming call screen

Hello Apple community,

My grandmother is in the early stages of dementia and while she can still use her phone most of the time, for some reason she continues to answer every single phone call when it comes up with slide to answer. She’s used to a simple decline or answer dichotomy, but the call screen when her phone is locked confuses her.


Does anyone know of a way to change the call screen on iOS to something more intuitive? Or would a spam call blocker be a much better approach?

Thanks
