Apple Watch answering phone calls

My series 6 watch seems to auto answer incoming calls just by turning my wrist to see who is calling. How do I disable this feature?

on your iphone, find your apple watch setting, click on accessbility, scoll down to find the auto-answer calls, (turn off auto answer), your problems will be resolved.


i have just stopped my auto answer by apple watch, which is annoying.

Hi Slyder21,


We see your Apple Watch is unexpectedly answering incoming phone calls.


Apple Watch will not automatically answer a call when raising your wrist, you should need to press the Answer button to connect the call. To clarify, is there anything partially covering the screen of your Apple Watch that may accidentally brush the button as you raise your wrist?


Does the problem persist, if you clean the Apple Watch display?


You can see more info about answering calls on your Apple Watch below:


Let us know if the issue persists, and we'll continue from there.


Cheers!
