How to “tap” to answer incoming calls on the lock screen on Android 13

After updating to Android 13, when I received a call on the lock screen, I needed to “swipe up” to answer.

My grandmother can fully use the button taps on her smartphone, but she can’t use “swipe” because she can’t get used to it.

Therefore, when a phone call comes in on the lock screen, I investigated whether it is possible to respond by “tapping” the button.

There are many phone apps on Google Play.

I noticed that among them there are apps that can respond with a tap.

I installed “Simple PhoneBook” and set it as the default phone app.
Now we can answer incoming calls on the lock screen by tapping the answer button.
