Thank you! I am an old dinosaur who loses brain cells trying to set up a cell phone. Yesterday my new Samsung Galaxy arrived and my brain is fried. I had a terrible time answering a call today and hope this single tap setting helps. I'm always so happy to find YouTube videos for exactly what I need!

Thank you so much for removing a constant frustration when trying to swipe answer without success especially on a cold day and having to call back. THANK YOU

Thank GOD! This was driving me crazy. I would swipe, up, down, left, right, swipe slow, swipe fast.... Ugh... At least 50% of the time, I could not get it to answer before I missed the call. Stupidest thing ever that you don't just tap to answer, but even worse that the swipe simply does not work. You saved the day. Thanks!

Thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. Why do companies complicate what was once simple?

I was missing so many calls, I could never seem to answer any, I have had this phone since last December, so frustrating missing calls! I finally searched here on Youtube and found my answer! Thank you!

Thank you so much, I didn't realize the settings weren't already set up for one tap and I was going crazy missing all my calls this was a real help thanks again. Very easy to set up.

Thank god for this video. My elderly mother bought a new LG Android phone and had trouble answering the phone by swiping answer button. She had no problem whenever she occasionally used my iPhone, so I thought she would have no problem with a new Android. But I was wrong. Even after working with her for over and hour she couldn't answer a call consistently, and was considering returning it. The menu's were slightly different, but I was able to figure out my way through the menu to set it up so she can just one tap the answer button.

Not sure who came up with the swiping concept, but it is horrible. I even had trouble getting swiping to work.

Thank you a 1, 000 times and more. My 90+ year mother was so frustrated I think she was ready to flush her new phone! :) All is fixed thanks to you. We are both happy campers!

Wow! Thank you so much for making this video! My 84 year old pop couldn’t answer his in coming calls and it was driving him crazy! We followed your instructions, and we were able to change the setting so he can now answer his phone with one tap!! Yay!! Thank U! . I subscribed and liked your video!!♥️😁♥️

Thank you so much. I have missed so many calls swiping away to no avail as the phone continues to ring.. All sorted now x

[CactusGal]

FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much! Now I can answer my phone 100% of the time. My dad's in hospital, and I missed several calls with the swipe-up on my A11. Not only can I tap to answer now, but I was pleasantly surprised that the icon will allow for screen shots, which were impossible with the side buttons. Very, very nice!

Well, I thank you very much. I have been struggling with this since day one. Never knew the settings had to be changed. I am very grateful!

[doctorwu]

Thank you. My wife and I were going crazy trying to figure this thing out. She couldn't answer her phone. Keep up the good work!!

[shanebanks]

This guy is a genius I was missing calls thank you for your assistance easy to follow just followed your instructions exactly

[Zoydian]

I hope we're all aware of the fact that we're following a TUTORIAL just to be able to answer a damn phone!!!

[heidicurrier]

Thank you very much. It was so frustrating not being able to get to the call. Thanks to you I can now use my phone the way it was intended.

Thank you for the perfect instructions for correctly setting up the single tap option. You gave definitive reasons as to why changes to setting options can be randomly changed by frequent Samsung updates. In addition, you aptly demonstrated how to hide the Assistant Menu icon! Mega kudos to you sir!

THANK YOU!!! For whatever reason, my Note 9 was struggling to answer incoming calls using the swipe method. I found one of your videos that had instructions that didn't sit in my settings. However, I found this one you must have posted at a later date and voila! It works like a charm. Something as simple as answering a call shouldn't have been as frustrating as it was for me. This tip is invaluable and again I say, thank you sir. :)

Thanks for posting this. I recently lost the ability to answer my phone by tapping the button and couldn't find the correct procedure to reactivate that function. The posts on Google were all missing the step to turn on the "Assistant Menu". It was very frustrating because I had already turned on the "single tap to swipe" (as Google recommended) but it didn't restore the feature until the assistant menu was tuned back on (as you explained in this video). I appreciate the help! Keep up the great work! :)
