Auto answer call setting

[bingeciren]

While riding a bike and wearing Bluetooth earbuds, I would like to auto answer incoming calls. Apple SW designers buried this setting deep into the Accessibility and made turning it on and off as inconvenient as possible and it is in such an unintuitive place too.

Settings =>Accessibility =>Touch =>Call Audio Routing =>Bluetooth Headset =>Auto-Answer Calls On/Off

The newly introduced Shortcuts cannot do it. Cannot say Hey siri answer the call either. Meanwhile Samsung already does it effortlessly with a one time setting in the Phone settings (image below).

Sometimes I wonder why companies cannot copy useful features from each other.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar need and a practical solution.

I wonder this also, especially with the ability Android has had for years to just skip the next instance of an alarm without disabling it and risking forgetting to reenable. Is there that long of a patent?

I guess Auto-answer issue doesn’t bother people that much which explains why Apple never bothered to implement a practical way to do it.

Not sure if it might work for this, but an app like Launcher might be able to set up a quick widget shortcut to change the setting.
