Please open settings, Accessibility, Touch, Call Audio Routing, and turn (toggle) off Auto-answer calls. Should fix the problem.

Thanks for the assistance. So, to clarify. You stated that you have turned off the feature I mentioned above. Potentially a restart after checking the setting is actually off could solve the issue.

if a restart after turning it off has already been performed, please check for the connection of any Bluetooth devices like AirPods, which could alter the behavior of your phone receiving calls. Also please check for any apps potentially interfering with call management, similar to e.g. AutoAnswer X, which supported iPhones until iOS 16. Feel free to reach out if you still have issues.
