The appeal and strength of the iPhone is that you can understand how to use it without reading the manual. However, there are times when you think you know it but you don't understand it correctly. In this section, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner "why the iPhone can't be heard anymore". This time, we will answer the question, "Can the iPhone answer the phone without knowing the passcode?"
***
Yes, incoming calls to your iPhone can be answered by anyone, whether locked or not, as long as you have your iPhone in your hand. When locked, drag "Slide to answer" to the right to OK, and when unlocked, tap the "Answer" button to answer the call. You will not be asked to authenticate with your passcode or fingerprint.
This specification is not limited to the iPhone, and most smartphones / feature phones can answer incoming calls without authentication. The only solution is to carry your iPhone with you so that no one else can pick it up. To prevent the situation where the iPhone was lent to the child while waiting in line and the child responded casually ... There is no choice but to enforce the rule of not lending an iPhone to children.
On the contrary, it is possible to automatically answer incoming calls on the iPhone. If you set the number of seconds in the range of 0 to 60 in advance, the call will be answered automatically after the number of seconds has passed since the incoming call. 0 to 60 seconds after the ringer starts ringing, you get the same effect as dragging "Respond with slide".
To set the automatic answer, open the screen in the order of "Settings" → "Accessibility" → "Call audio routing", tap "Call automatically", and then switch the "Call automatically" switch on the screen that appears. Turn it on (white → green). Then, you can change the number of seconds, so tap the "-" and "+" buttons to specify the number of seconds until the automatic response.
