Watch automatically picking up calls

[Mbrill73]

Is anyone else's watch automatically picking up calls when you answer them on your phone? I've tried a few different things with no luck.

Can't say that's happened to me. Is your watch updated and the phone as well? What phone do you use? Maybe there's a setting turned on that auto - answers.

I've got a Pixel 3xl. Both it and the watch are updated. I have not been able to figure out what is going on. It's sporadic.

A call to tech support should clear it up. Just a thought...

Hi all, I just got my wife a Galaxy Watch Active 2 and she seem to like it except one big problem, every calls are answered by the watch, not by the phone.

We have to answer the call from the watch then either push the little icon to transfer the call on the phone of remove Bluetooth connection during the call. The problem that we are facing are:

- When in the car, we are not able to play with the phone or watch and the watch will take over the car Bluetooth.

-When the watch is charging, the phone is not near it so we have to run to the watch to answer it.

She is using a Galaxy S9 as her phone and there is not option that I can see that will correct the issue.

I was in the idea that there would be something like if I answer the call from the phone, the audio will default on it, not on the Bluetooth device. If we remove the audio profile from the watch (*in Bluetooth setting) the the watch is simply not connected to the phone. I f I remove the notification for phone I will not able to see who is calling on it.

I saw some post saying to reset the watch, I have done it and still the same issue.

If you find something please post it here.

Tried it on my wife's and it worked like a charm. Calls are seen on watch and phone but will be redirected on the device answering it.

You might have to manually switch it over from the watch once a call is in progress for your selection to "stick."
