No not at all Richard, I was quite surprised with this omission also.

I stand corrected. Who would have thought that Apple would not give
that function an alternative option.
I hope this is the last time I make any assumptions about what Apple does…

You can customize pretty much any gesture.
Find one you do not use and redefine it in the Commands settings.

Thanks Richard but is there a different gesture we can use for
answering the phone and not using earphones?

I went into settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, Commands, and
turned off Magic tap fork media, so now it works to answer the
phone without starting music playing.
This is a 16 pro running iOS 26.
Earphones can still answer by tapping the button too.
Certain earphones, I suspect by Apple, and maybe others you
can tell Siri to answer.

Hi folk,
I disabled the two-finger double tap action for answering
a call as it use often startt music playing so anyone
using a different gesture for the phone instead?
I can fined the 'answer a call' button on the phone but I
reckon a gesture whereby I can double tap on the screen
would be preferable/quicker.
Thanks,
Tony
