how can I make sure I have the slide to answer a call?

When I receive a call I sometimes don’t have the slide to open option or the yes or no to accept a call option. I get a notification that pops up at the top of my phone which I can’t always get to work and then miss calls.

You will see this button if your iPhone is unlocked when the call is received.


Otherwise you will see a slider.
