iPhone automatically answering calls when I’m on the other line

My iPhone is automatically answering phone calls when I’m already on the phone. If I am not on the phone, it rings like normal and allows me to answer the phone myself. But if I am on a FaceTime call, or a regular phone call and another call comes in, it will automatically switch over to the new call. This is not an auto answer issue. I have already checked my accessibility settings and auto answer is not turned on. This is a brand new iPhone 13 and the updates are up-to-date. This problem never happened on my old phone, just this new one. What do I do?

Hello Nettabear21,


It looks like your phone calls are auto answering when you're on another call. We'd be happy to point you in the right direction!


If you haven't already, could you please restart your iPhone to see if this issue persists?


If so, please try going to Settings and enabling Auto-Answer Calls, restarting, and disabling Auto-Answer Calls to see if this improves things at all.


Cheers!
