Raise To Answer

Simply hold your phone to your ear to answer an incoming call

"Raise To Answer" is an intuitive Android app that allows users to answer incoming calls simply by bringing their phone to their ear. Upon detecting the phone’s proximity to your ear, the app beeps five times before automatically answering the call. With no ads, unnecessary permissions, or battery drain, it is easy to enable or disable. The app seamlessly integrates with your existing call screen, ensuring there’s nothing new to learn. It's open source and available on GitHub.

To get it to work, I had to rummage around in phone settings, and the app settings to give it every permission I could find. But that alone was not enough. I also had to go to Settings System DuraSpeed and turn that on. Then there is a long list of applications that you can give permission to, to run in the background. Once I gave this app permission to run in the background, it started to work. PS My phone is set to auto speaker. To answer call I just hover my hand over top of screen to answer

This app is so useful for my 90 year sister. She really struggles to answer a call by swiping. I wish it worked for WhatsApp calls too, then it would be 5 stars and perfect.
