About this app

Simply hold your phone to your ear to answer an incoming call. When the app detects the phone is near your ear during an incoming call, it will beep 5 times and then answer the call.

No ads, no unnecessary permissions and no unnecessary battery drain. Easy to enable and disable. Doesn't replace your incoming call screen, so you don't need to learn anything new.

This app is Open Source. The source code is available on https://github.com/TheLastProject/RaiseToAnswer.

Finally, an oasis in a vast, bare desert! I think I've tried every possible way to get my calls answered by raising the phone to the ear, to no avail though! I've tried automation apps(other than Tasker, which is unnecessarily complicated), a ton of different ,,Air Call,, apps. Nothing would help, except Drupe Dialer(which cannot record calls and has other annoying limitations). But this piece of software does the job adequately! Sylvia van Os, you are the queen of our phones! Best wishes dear!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NO MORE SWIPING ! Phone rings>pick it up and hold up to your ear>say hello! just like we did with our home phones before they invented cordless. Stock out of the box without changing any settings. Uses proximity sensor. I was a little worried it would automatically answer if I had my phone in my pocket, but that doesn't happen. I also use "WaveUp", which also uses the proximity sensor. No conflicts between the two so far.

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
