Whether you’re new to the Samsung 7 or just looking to refresh your memory, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to answer calls on your device.
Using the Physical Buttons
The most common way to answer a call on your Samsung 7 is by using the physical buttons on the side of the phone. When a call comes in, you’ll see the caller’s name and number displayed on the screen. To answer, simply press the ‘Answer’ button, which is typically marked with a green phone icon. If you don’t see the ‘Answer’ button, you can also press the volume up button on the side of the phone to answer the call.
Using the Touchscreen
For those who prefer a more interactive approach, you can answer calls directly from the touchscreen. When a call comes in, the screen will display the caller’s information. To answer, simply tap the ‘Answer’ button on the screen. If you don’t want to answer, you can tap the ‘Decline’ button, which is typically marked with a red phone icon with a line through it.
Using Voice Commands
For hands-free operation, you can use voice commands to answer calls on your Samsung 7. If you have Google Assistant enabled on your device, you can say “Hey Google, answer” to answer the call. If you have Bixby enabled, you can say “Hi Bixby, answer” to answer the call. This feature is particularly useful when you’re driving or engaged in another activity.
Using the Notification Panel
When a call comes in, you’ll see a notification on the top of your screen. You can swipe down from the top to expand the notification panel. From there, you can tap the ‘Answer’ button to answer the call. This method is useful if you’re not looking at your phone when the call comes in.

Using the Recent Apps Menu
When a call comes in, you’ll see the call notification in the recent apps menu. To answer, simply swipe up on the call notification to open the call interface and then tap the ‘Answer’ button. This method is useful if you’re already using an app and want to quickly answer a call without leaving the app.
Using the Call Log
Another way to answer a call on your Samsung 7 is by using the call log. Open the call log by tapping the phone icon on the home screen and then tapping the ‘Recent Calls’ tab. From there, you can tap the ‘Answer’ button next to the caller’s name to answer the call.
Using the Phone App
Finally, you can answer a call directly from the phone app. Open the phone app by tapping the phone icon on the home screen. Then, tap the ‘Recent Calls’ tab and tap the ‘Answer’ button next to the caller’s name. This method is useful if you prefer to use the phone app for all your calling needs.
