trouble answering iphone by swiping

Most headsets have a button on them that will let you answer. What exactly it the problem you're having?

You can press down the top button before you swipe, that works.

Tapping the top button will silence the call. How will it help the OP answer the phone? That is, if they haven't figured out how to answer it in the year since this thread was active.

many people are still having the same issue. the slider is stuck when someone calls. Some claim due to a leather case that creates static.

PRessing the the top button (silencing the call) unlocks the stuck slider.
