How can I stop my iPhone from answering calls automatically?

My iPhone 13 is answering incoming phone calls whose numbers are recognized immediately—literally before I can pick up the phone. I want to be the decider about what phone calls get answered, not the phone.

Is it possible that you may have the Auto-Answer feature set to ON?

You can double check the above by opening Settings ➡️ Accessibility ➡️ Touch ➡️ Call Audio Routing ➡️ Auto-Answer Calls: Ensure that this switch is set to OFF.
