Tap, not swipe, to answer.

[Mr_Ed]

Please help

I don't want to have to swipe to answer calls - in fact I missed a few calls because there is no indication that you have to swipe! 

I looked up on the web and it seems there's a tap to answer in the accessibility menu, so I turned that on, but it didn't have any effect. 

It seems you might have to activate the 'Assistant menu' to make the phone recognise that 'tap to answer' is on, but then I have the accessibility icon floating on my phone all the time and I don't want that. Youtube videos show people hiding it with a long press and dragging to the top of the screen, but this option is not available on my S23 running OneUI5.1

For the Assistant menu shortcut to be pushed to the edge, toggle on the "Show as edge icon" option.

Thanks to all responders. It seems Samsung has taken away the option to make this work without having the accessibility icon active. But the volume up key should help.
