User level: Level 1 (4 points)iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 27. When I receive a call while the phone is locked, it always shows Accept/Decline buttons instead of Slide to Answer. Why is this happening?

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Prefer Single-Touch Actions, and make sure it its turned off. It is on the bottom of that page for me.
I still get the Slide to Answer prompt on the Lock Screen when a call comes in on iOS 27.

Because that's how Apple designed it to work. This is a user to user only forum. We aren't Apple and we didn't design how iOS works. If you'd like to provide feedback to Apple, you can use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Personally, I'd rather just tap to answer as opposed to swipe to answer.

Interesting. I wasn't aware this could be changed. Not that I want to change it, but it's good to know. Thanks!
