Accept a video call as an audio call: Click next to Accept, then choose Answer as Audio. I can see myself using Auto-Answer Calls a lot, not just while jogging with my AirPods or working out with my PowerBeats in my ears but also in other situations when interacting with the phone may be impractical, like driving a car or swimming with my Apple Watch on. On your Mac, do one of the following when a notification appears in the top-right corner of the screen: Accept an incoming call: Click Accept. This handy new option, as I already mentioned, is nowhere to be found in iOS 10 or earlier. Tapping it takes you to a new screen where you can enable or disable the feature and set the duration of time your iPhone will wait when a call comes in before it’s auto-answered for you. To change these preferences, sign in with your Apple ID. These options are also available on prior iOS editions. But look at the bottom and you’ll see a brand new menu, labeled Auto-Answer Calls. In the FaceTime app on your Mac, use Settings preferences to change default options for using FaceTime. There, you’ll see the call routing options which include settings like Bluetooth headsets, the iPhone speaker and more. To enable this feature, go to Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Call Audio Routing. This optional feature supports regular calls via your carrier’s mobile network, as well as Wi-Fi calls, FaceTime audio and video calls and any VoIP calls originating from third-party apps that use Apple’s CallKit framework, such as WhatsApp, Skype, Viber and more. Many iOS 11 features seemed to be inspired by the jailbreak community. Among them, a brand new call audio routing option in accessibility settings that allows you to set your iPhone to automatically answer incoming calls on your behalf, should you wish so.
