Hello kbaterp, 


We understand that your iPhone is automatically answering incoming calls. 


Could you please check the Call Audio Routing setting in Settings > Accessibility > Touch and see if Auto-Answer Calls is enabled? If it is, please disable it and see if there is any change. 


Thanks.

kbaterp, 


There are a few settings you can check on your iPhone. The first is whether numbers or contacts have been blocked through the device’s software. You’ll find that in Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts. 


Then, while you’re in Settings > Phone, also check to see if ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ is enabled and if it is, disable it. With some carriers, there is also a setting called ‘Silence Junk Callers’ and that’s in Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification. Check to see if that is enabled. 


Lastly, if you haven’t restarted your iPhone since deleting that app, do that now. Restart your iPhone


Thank you.
