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 RUclips 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!
Tap to answer should be the default way to answer or reject calls, sliding is too hit or miss. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
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.
I've only ever used android. Tried iPhone and hated it. I think we all prefer what we started with. I'm here to help my mom answer the new phone I bought her. Put her on my plan. The swipe is ridiculous. Swipe up? Why make that change!?
Im still having problems and this vid is 2 yrs old. Explination worked somewhat...but this phone changes day to day...I just turned off the updates, before I went insane. You did an amazing job here.
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 RUclips and found my answer! Thank you!
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!
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!
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.
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 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 the thorough and easy step by step lesson. Although I'm somewhat ok with changing settings I wasn't sure with my new phone. And it's nice that you explained in the beginning not all phones are the same. It's frustrating to follow instructions when you don't even have the proper options. In this case I did. And you are so helpful 🙂
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. :)
I agree, swipe to answer is very frustrating, and Samsung doesn't make it any easier by hiding, or in some instances, removing the option to tap to answer. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, and thank you for watching!
This has been making me buggy. Other explanations told me to remove sim card, stand on by head, et cetera. You helped me get this done the first time, and i didn't even have to stand on my head. Thank you.
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! :)
Thanks for sharing this. I was missing calls on my new galaxy s9. However that assistant was driving me crazy and I was not able to make it go away by holding it and using the 'X' to remove. But I did find a way. Under the same setting where the Single tap to swipe was set, I selected "show as and edge icon" and i changed the size from medium to small. Now its no longer in my way as I don't use the edge icons. Hope that helps someone who can't get rid of the assistant
Thank you for that! I saw the video to change the call from swipe to tap also, then found that annoying assistant icon on my screen and i didn’t have the ‘x’ to make it go away either! I followed your advice and it disappeared, thank you soooo very much!
@@christinamattas6207 glad it helped. It hasn't disappeared, it's just very small off to the edge of the screen. Every now and then I STILL hit it accidrntly based on what I'm doing on my phone but can find a way get around it. Again glad the workaround was helpful
Another first Smartphone user here and I was having terrible trouble answering my phone. It automatically went to voicemail and I fixed that up, but answering the phone was a nightmare! There is no option to remove the accessibility menu on Samsung A15, so it is hanging around like a bad smell! Thank you for your video. 😊
Thank you, I like to think of myself as pretty tech savvy, I've set up all sorts complicated tech 'stuff'. Answering calls on my new work phone had me flummoxed, I actually thought there was something wrong with the phone! You've sorted it in 60 seconds!
Just as important as knowing how to set up the tap method which I learned a while back is getting rid of the accessibility Assistant menu icon as it was always getting in the way of doing anything else on the phone and I always had to move it. As you mention it is very annoying. Thank you for explaining that part as I was at the point of getting rid of the Tap feature. The hiding of the Assistant menu icon is working on my S9 Plus here in Canada … I see that some are commenting that you can’t do that any longer so maybe it is phone provider or country dependant. Without being able to hide that icon I don’t feel the Tapping feature is worth it and it would be better to use the Volume Up technique. Thanks for the help.
Edit update. After just doing a Samsung software upgrade I can’t tap and hold to hide the Assistant menu. I found this solution online. After turning on the Assist mode and Single tap mode, go back to Settings and Apps > tap 3 dots > tap Show system apps > tap Accessibility > scroll down to Advanced and tap Appear on top > Turn off Allow permission > finally tap Force stop. This will have to be done every time you restart the phone but at least it is a way to get rid of that Assistant menu and keep the Tap to Answer.
Thanks for that! I have an A52s and i didn’t realise i had to swipe the phone icon to answer the call! Duh! I was used to tapping the icon from my old samsung, which i find easier. Been looking at so many videos but none had the same settings as my phone, except your video, so much appreciated! You;re absolutely right about samsung and changing things for no good reason, making it more complicated to do simple tasks. I much preferred my old S6 than this new phone!
Thank you Sir. I couldn't understand why I couldn't answer the phone, I knew nothing about swiping it. Thank you I would rather tap it anyway. You have made me very happy with my new A11 phone. Cheers to you..
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thanks so much for offering it. It solved my ANNOYING swipe problem very quickly in regard to the ON button for picking up incoming calls. Thanks again!
Thank you. Just got a Samsung for the first time two days ago and I couldn't answer the phone when it rang today. It had lost the "Answer" button. Followed your instructions and they have worked. Thank you very much
Can't remove the assistant menu I'm afraid, you don't get the option to hide when you press on it on my phone. I agree it is very annoying and best removed. Will have to revert to no single tap at the moment. Thanks
I totally agree! Samsung removes some of the best features for seeming no reason. I'm still using my Note 9, it has MST, a physical fingerprint scanner, LED notification, SD card supported. For me, Samsung's newest offerings are too much of a compromise.
I know, stupid right? It should be a simple option that is easy to find in the phone app itself not having to sift through a bunch of settings options just to get to it and having to enable a menu that should literally have nothing to do with it. I think Samsung developers are on drugs when they come up with stuff like this.
Thanks so much for this video. Just let you know I just got a Samsung S22, and this helped me to change from the swipe to answer to the tap to answer. It is still there in the accessibility section, just had to locate it under some other headings. Works great, great video, well done, thanks again.
@@Techdog47 great content. But seems that I can't get rid of the assistant menu like how you described it. It's annoying to have that on my screen. Can't seem to hide it on my new S22 Ultra
Hey thank you very much. I don't get allot of calls but always forget to swipe to the right. This will be so much better just to tap the phone button to answer. Awesome!
Thank you... solved one of the most annoying features of Android. Bad news is the new software does not allow you to hide the annoying floating menu...
Thank you for this. Like many of the commenters here, I had also missed or almost missed several calls, despite swiping the green button up, down or across. Very frustrating!
Oh my goodness. I'm so grateful to you for this. I just missed two urgent calls from my doctor that were from a private number. I swiped and swiped and I could not get the phone to allow me to connect to the calls. Because it was from private number I can't phone the doctor back and I desperately needed to speak to him. I don't know why the button wouldn't work but this has happened before. Now I set it up just to tap to answer. I am so hopeful that this won't happen again. I will not be able to speak with him until tomorrow, so this was absolutely not okay. I'm sure you have saved people a lot of grief if this fix works. Thank you?
I think your explanation is one of the best/easiest "how-to" I've seen/used, except I can't make the assistant menu icon to disappear!! ha I have a Galaxy S21 5G. Thanks!
Unfortunately Samsung has made software changes that make getting rid of the assistant menu difficult or impossible, I will try to find a solution and get back to you.
Thank You so much for your very easy to follow enabling Single Tap Answer Option .. was constantly losing connection with so many in coming calls.. lt worked and l have a Samsung A8 in the UK : )
For those of us who have never owned a cell until now, it was informative!! You really shouldn't have to go through those steps anyway, factory should default that method rather than the user having to set it up.
I totally agree, the swipe method is too awkward, and it was ridiculous that Samsung had to hide the settings to change it. Even worse is that Samsung is removing the feature on some devices! Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot guy! My Galaxy 50 phone drove me crazy! I would swipe and the stupid thing would hang up incoming calls! I followed your directions and it was 95% the same so i managed to change it to single tap. Cheers
Great info. Quick question please. I have one person in my contacts that my Galaxy A15 will not let me answer. When I tap the green answer icon (no matter how many times I tap) it just will not answer the incoming call, even thought that person is in my contacts. It is very annoying and hoping you may no why my phone only does this on one of my contact's incoming calls. I in NJ and the phone again is a Galaxy A15 model. Thanks in advance. Phil
Thank you, it worked perfectly. Only thing is for some reason I can't get rid of the the 'assistent menu' icon the way you mentioned in your video. I did the tap/swipe, etc. but it's still there, LOL. Just need to practice some more to get it right. Agasin, the phone answering thing works perfectly. I appreciate it. Thanks
Samsung has made getting rid of the assistant virtually impossible. I don’t have a Samsung Galaxy phone running the latest software (I’m still using the Note 9) but I will be getting the S23 Ultra, and I need to find a way (if one exists) of hiding the assistant. I apologize for not being able to offer more of a solution at this time.
Thank you! I have a galaxy note 20 and they did a huge update 2 days ago. It changed a lot of stuff on my phone...it would have taken me forever to find the touch answer button again!
This video really helped me, thank you. Unfortunately on my A 11 I have to leave the "Assistant" on or I cannot tap to receive an incoming phone call. Also the "hide" feature that he shows here towards the end of the video does not work on the A 11. You have to go back into the settings to turn that off. When you do the "Tap" feature goes away also. So I guess I will have to live with "Assistant" always on the screen.
Thank you for the simple instructions. I can never answer my phone by swiping on my new Samsung Galaxy. It does not work. I was getting ready to go down to my local carrier and ask about this. And then I found your instructions. We will now see what happens when I receive a call. 😊Thanks again!

Now I set it up just to tap to answer. I am so hopeful that this won't happen again. I will not be able to speak with him until tomorrow, so this was absolutely not okay. I'm sure you have saved people a lot of grief if this fix works. Thank you?
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video ... that helped. I thought I was the only one who didn’t know how to answer a call
Thank you for watching!
I think your explanation is one of the best/easiest "how-to" I've seen/used, except I can't make the assistant menu icon to disappear!! ha I have a Galaxy S21 5G. Thanks!
Unfortunately Samsung has made software changes that make getting rid of the assistant menu difficult or impossible, I will try to find a solution and get back to you.
@@Techdog47 Thanks! It's no big deal. I ignore the little circle. I appreciate your responding to my trivial "problem." ha
Thank You so much for your very easy to follow enabling Single Tap Answer Option .. was constantly losing connection with so many in coming calls.. lt worked and l have a Samsung A8 in the UK : )
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you. I able to do this as you talked. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for watching!
For those of us who have never owned a cell until now, it was informative!! You really shouldn't have to go through those steps anyway, factory should default that method rather than the user having to set it up.
I totally agree, the swipe method is too awkward, and it was ridiculous that Samsung had to hide the settings to change it. Even worse is that Samsung is removing the feature on some devices! Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching!
@@Techdog47 Yeah, I mean why would you make it look like an effing button but make people swipe it & have no indication showing you have to swipe it?
Thanks a lot guy! My Galaxy 50 phone drove me crazy! I would swipe and the stupid thing would hang up incoming calls! I followed your directions and it was 95% the same so i managed to change it to single tap. Cheers

Great advice for helping to make my first smartphone easier to use. Thank you for providing this easy-to-follow video.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Great info.
Quick question please.
I have one person in my contacts that my Galaxy A15 will not let me answer. When I tap the green answer icon (no matter how many times I tap) it just will not answer the incoming call, even thought that person is in my contacts.
It is very annoying and hoping you may no why my phone only does this on one of my contact's incoming calls.
I in NJ and the phone again is a Galaxy A15 model. Thanks in advance.

Thx! So much a big help on my samsung a51 4g!!! This is how im use to answering my calls!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you, it worked perfectly. Only thing is for some reason I can't get rid of the the 'assistent menu' icon the way you mentioned in your video. I did the tap/swipe, etc. but it's still there, LOL. Just need to practice some more to get it right. Agasin, the phone answering thing works perfectly. I appreciate it. Thanks
Samsung has made getting rid of the assistant virtually impossible. I don’t have a Samsung Galaxy phone running the latest software (I’m still using the Note 9) but I will be getting the S23 Ultra, and I need to find a way (if one exists) of hiding the assistant. I apologize for not being able to offer more of a solution at this time.
Thank you! I have a galaxy note 20 and they did a huge update 2 days ago. It changed a lot of stuff on my phone...it would have taken me forever to find the touch answer button again!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you very much sir and God-bless awesome you have a wonderful day take care.👍😎😀
Thank you very much for your kind words, and thank you for watching!
Really worked for our x 2 Galaxy A33's. Thank you so much..
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
This video really helped me, thank you. Unfortunately on my A 11 I have to leave the "Assistant" on or I cannot tap to receive an incoming phone call. Also the "hide" feature that he shows here towards the end of the video does not work on the A 11. You have to go back into the settings to turn that off. When you do the "Tap" feature goes away also. So I guess I will have to live with "Assistant" always on the screen.
Samsung has stupidly been removing the feature.
My Samsung A51 is the same way!
Tysm! I’m a Uber driver and I’ve been trying to contact the customer about there phone and they keep calling and now I can finally answer it!
I’m glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!

Thank you for the simple instructions. I can never answer my phone by swiping on my new Samsung Galaxy. It does not work. I was getting ready to go down to my local carrier and ask about this. And then I found your instructions. We will now see what happens when I receive a call. 😊Thanks again!
