Galaxy Watch Auto-Answers Calls Without Touching Screen

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

If your Galaxy Watch automatically answers incoming calls without you swiping or tapping, the setting causing this is usually on your phone, not your watch.

Why This Happens

Auto-answer features exist for accessibility and hands-free convenience, but may be enabled accidentally.

Phone Auto-Answer: Samsung Phone app has built-in auto-answer settings
Lift to Ear: Moving phone or watch toward your ear can trigger answering
Accessibility Settings: TalkBack or other accessibility features may auto-answer
Gesture Controls: Some phones have motion-based call answering

Solution 1: Disable Phone Auto-Answer (Samsung)

The most common cause is in your Samsung Phone app settings.

Open the Phone app on your Samsung phone
Tap the three dots menu Settings
Select Call settings or Answering and ending calls
Find Auto answer (after set time)
Toggle it OFF

Primary Fix for Samsung Users

This setting is the #1 cause of unexpected auto-answered calls. It's in your phone app, not watch settings.

Samsung phones may answer when you lift them to your ear.

Go to Settings Advanced features Motions and gestures
Look for Lift to answer or similar

Disable if present

Solution 5: Disable Accessibility Auto-Answer

Accessibility features may enable auto-answer.

Testing After Changes
