answered until you end or hold the current call.

1. Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Auto Answer.
2. From the Auto Answer screen, select Auto Answer SIP Calls, and select Yes.
3. Select Microphone Mute, and choose Yes (the default setting) to
mute the microphone for auto-answered calls.
4. Select Save.
5. These settings are applied to all incoming calls on your phone.
