Answering calls on iPhone.

How can I answer calls on my iPhone without having to touch the screen?


When I have leather gloves on my hand while riding a MotorBike and the phone has a navigation app running, I need to answer the call without taking off my gloves.


There is a feature to AUTO-ANSWER, but I don't want to use that because Not ALL calls need to be answered. Only selected calls from known contacts and family members.


I want to answer the call when connected to a Bluetooth earphone located inside the MotorBike helmet. Apple could add a feature to answer the call using a voice command, such as "Answer the call."


If there is no means of doing this, this feature needs to be added either using a hardware switch or a voice command. Otherwise, the iPhone lacks flexibility and is limited in its ease of use.
