Android Central Question

I have only ever used iPhones and thought Android were the masters of customisation yet I cannot figure out how to make it ‘tap to answer’ not swipe up to answer

She is on a Nokia 2.2 Android One which came out in 2019, with updates to the latest OS for the next 2-3 years

She will use her phone only at home and doesn’t need a lock screen of any sort to protect any type of button touching with her ‘butt’.

And then also she has always tapped a green button to answer her landline and is not used to swiping up to answer.

So looking to find a way so it always is ‘tap to answer’ and not slide up to answer.

I really thought they would have a setting for this but cannot figure it out.

Haven’t found an app either that looks good quality to do this.

When I Google it it’s like a minefield and everyone’s Android settings seem different on all the different brands of phones.

It’s like a minefield and kinda need help with figuring this out.

Even her just saying ‘answer’ when someone phones would do at this point. Just not swiping up to answer she just cannot do that she is too old school, lifetime habit of just pressing the green button

That seems to be gone now, it's no longer in the Accessibility menu in Settings. Even with apps that used to do it, it doesn't work.
