Phone rings but I have no way to answer, horrible app!

[R1945]

Expecting a call back from a vendor after a long wait. Finally the pixel phone starts ringing along with the google watch.

I could not answer the call, just kept ringing, eventually lost my call back position.

No way on the phone or the watch to answer the call.

This is really annoying. Why won't google fix this!

When the phone was ringing, were you actively using the phone for something else? If so, did you see a banner notification at the top of the screen for an incoming call?

If you weren't using the phone actively, then you're saying you didn't see the incoming call on the full screen?

Do you have AT&T? They had a widespread outage today.

Wonder if you turned off Bluetooth if you could then answer on the phone

The phone app on the Pixel is horrible. Once again, while charging the Pixel Phone, and the screen is locked, the phone rang with an important call. I could not answer the call, no way to answer, and the call went to voice mail.

What is going on with the Phone app on the Pixel. Someone needs to fix this bug!

I'm not having this difficulty. How did you try to answer the phone? Google recently made a change in the Phone app such that the user has to swipe the Answer button to the right, rather than upwards. Or are you saying there was no Answer button at all?
