Has anyone any ideas on how to answer an incoming call without touching the screen?
The Auto-Answer in the accessibility settings works, but does mean you have to accept any calls even if you do not want to speak to that person at that time. I know you could use switch control, but this is too cumbersome when answering a call.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13), iPad Pro, iPhone 5SE, iOS 11.1
Sadly this is not possible but Apple should make it so as Alexa does on Echo devices e.g. “Siri answer” command. Also why not:
1. Why can’t you activate Siri on an Apple Watch without moving your wrist?
2. Why do you have to double tap Airpods to activate Siri?
3. Why can’t you whitelist contacts for auto answer in IOS 11?
4. Why can’t you toggle auto answer on and off by Siri?
5. Why aren’t there Hey iPhone/iPad/Watch/HomePod commands to direct Siri responses?
6. Why can’t you end a call by saying “Siri stop”
All of these suggestions would make the iPhone much more accessible to physically disabled users who have problems accessing the touch screen and find Switch control difficult. I do not know who advises Apple on accessability issues for the physically disabled but they need to tell them get Siri to do more and stop obsessing about Switch Control

This should have perhaps been a feature request, rather than a question. I will raise a request.
If people hit the "I have this question too" button it may just raise the profile of this particular issue. 😐
