Many users have voiced their concern that whenever an incoming call arrives on their Android device, they also get the “Say Answer” tag just below it. Not only does it result in UI/UX disruption, but in some cases, it tends to overlap with the caller ID too. As a result of this, the recipients are unaware of the caller’s identity and hence they cannot decide whether or not they wish to pick it up. If you are also facing a similar issue, then this guide will help rectify it. Follow along.
How to Remove “Say Answer” from Incoming Calls on Android
The reason why you are getting bugged by this issue is that you have [intentionally or otherwise] enabled the Quick Phrase for Incoming Call feature which allows you to pick up the call just by saying the ‘answer’ keyword. So to remove this tag, you’ll have to disable this feature. Here’s how it could be done:
- Launch the Google App, tap on your profile, and select Settings.
- Then go to Google Assistant and select Quick Phrases.
- Now turn off the toggle next to Incoming Calls. That’s it.
From now on, you wouldn’t get the Say Answer keyword when an incoming call arrives on your Android phone. However, this would also mean that you would have to bid adieu to an important feature. So decide on this trade-off weighing both the perks and caveats accordingly. On that note, we round off this guide.
