How to stop swipe from deleting call

[Android Central Question]

frequently when I go to answer an incoming call if I slide the swipe it to the right it hangs up on the call. how can I stop this function?
It is very annoying because sometimes swiping is the only way to get the phone to answer. Tapping it doesn't always work.

Swiping the green icon answers, swiping the red icon hangs up.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are you supposed to swipe to one side to answer the call, or are you supposed to swipe up? It can vary with the phone.
