There are a couple-three different scenarios here, believe it or not. Some or all of them may present you with different screens and buttons when they occur.

• Receiving a Call with the Phone in Standby/ Screen Locked
• Receiving a call while using the Phone/ Screen Unlocked
• Receiving a call while on Another Call (Did you know your Phone (likely) has Call Waiting, free of charge?)

Receiving a Call with the Phone in Standby/ Screen Locked

This is probably the most common scenario, unless you’re on your phone, literally, all the time.   Let’s assume that your smartphone is charged, and on a desk, or in a bag

1. From a screen off position, your phone rings.

Receiving a Call while the Device is in Use

This is probably the next most common scenario.   Let’s assume that your smartphone is charged, on and you’re using an app.

1. While the phone is in use, you receive a phone call.
   

   iOS	Android	Windows Phone

2. Answer the call. For iOS, tap the green call button. For Android, tap the green call button. For Windows Phone, tap the blue answer button.
