Thank you! I am an old dinosaur who loses brain cells trying to set up a cell phone. Yesterday my new Samsung Galaxy arrived and my brain is fried. I had a terrible time answering a call today and hope this single tap setting helps. I'm always so happy to find TH-cam videos for exactly what I need!
Thank you for watching and please let me know if you where able to get single tap to answer activated.
Thank you so much for removing a constant frustration when trying to swipe answer without success especially on a cold day and having to call back. THANK YOU
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. Why do companies complicate what was once simple?
Samsung really is making thing needlessly complicated, I agree. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, and thank you for watching!
Finally someone speaks clear & concise and is easy to understand and follow..... thank you
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank GOD! This was driving me crazy. I would swipe, up, down, left, right, swipe slow, swipe fast.... Ugh... At least 50% of the time, I could not get it to answer before I missed the call. Stupidest thing ever that you don't just tap to answer, but even worse that the swipe simply does not work. You saved the day. Thanks!
Tap to answer should be the default way to answer or reject calls, sliding is too hit or miss. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much, I didn't realize the settings weren't already set up for one tap and I was going crazy missing all my calls this was a real help thanks again. Very easy to set up.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
I was missing so many calls, I could never seem to answer any, I have had this phone since last December, so frustrating missing calls! I finally searched here on TH-cam and found my answer! Thank you!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Me too, for weeks, Thanks TechdogThis worked for a GalaxyA11
Thank you for watching!
Thank you a 1,000 times and more. My 90+ year mother was so frustrated I think she was ready to flush her new phone! :) All is fixed thanks to you. We are both happy campers!
I'm glad the video was helpful, and I hope your mother enjoys her new phone, thank you for watching!
Literally we are going thru the same now.
This guy is a genius I was missing calls thank you for your assistance easy to follow just followed your instructions exactly
Well, I thank you very much. I have been struggling with this since day one. Never knew the settings had to be changed. I am very grateful!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank god for this video. My elderly mother bought a new LG Android phone and had trouble answering the phone by swiping answer button. She had no problem whenever she occasionally used my iPhone, so I thought she would have no problem with a new Android. But I was wrong. Even after working with her for over and hour she couldn't answer a call consistently, and was considering returning it. The menu's were slightly different, but I was able to figure out my way through the menu to set it up so she can just one tap the answer button.
Not sure who came up with the swiping concept, but it is horrible. I even had trouble getting swiping to work.
I totally agree with you. If my frustrations continue with the S10 I wont be getting another samsung.
@@dchisholm5021 my J7 was so easy to use. The A32 is a shitshow os. They need to stop rearranging the os to make it look new.
I've only ever used android. Tried iPhone and hated it. I think we all prefer what we started with. I'm here to help my mom answer the new phone I bought her. Put her on my plan. The swipe is ridiculous. Swipe up? Why make that change!?
Im still having problems and this vid is 2 yrs old. Explination worked somewhat...but this phone changes day to day...I just turned off the updates, before I went insane. You did an amazing job here.
Wow! Thank you so much for making this video! My 84 year old pop couldn’t answer his in coming calls and it was driving him crazy! We followed your instructions, and we were able to change the setting so he can now answer his phone with one tap!! Yay!! Thank U! . I subscribed and liked your video!!♥️😁♥️
That's great! I'm glad the video was helpful, and thank you for watching and subscribing!
Thank you so much. I have missed so many calls swiping away to no avail as the phone continues to ring.. All sorted now x
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Me too!! Thanks.
Same goes to me
Bane of my fricken existence, constantly missing calls from trying desperately to swipe, ridiculous.
Cant thank you enough!!
Ugh..was about to throw this thing away…or at the nearest wall..lol. Was so annoying.
FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much! Now I can answer my phone 100% of the time. My dad's in hospital, and I missed several calls with the swipe-up on my A11. Not only can I tap to answer now, but I was pleasantly surprised that the icon will allow for screen shots, which were impossible with the side buttons. Very, very nice!
I'm glad the video was helpful, and best wishes to your dad. Thank you for watching!
Thank you. My wife and I were going crazy trying to figure this thing out. She couldn't answer her phone. Keep up the good work!!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Had the same problem.
Thank you very much. It was so frustrating not being able to get to the call. Thanks to you I can now use my phone the way it was intended.
I'm so sick of not being able to answer this piece of junk
Thank you for the perfect instructions for correctly setting up the single tap option. You gave definitive reasons as to why changes to setting options can be randomly changed by frequent Samsung updates. In addition, you aptly demonstrated how to hide the Assistant Menu icon! Mega kudos to you sir!
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for watching!
Thank you for the thorough and easy step by step lesson. Although I'm somewhat ok with changing settings I wasn't sure with my new phone. And it's nice that you explained in the beginning not all phones are the same. It's frustrating to follow instructions when you don't even have the proper options. In this case I did. And you are so helpful 🙂
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
THANK YOU!!! For whatever reason, my Note 9 was struggling to answer incoming calls using the swipe method. I found one of your videos that had instructions that didn't sit in my settings. However, I found this one you must have posted at a later date and voila! It works like a charm. Something as simple as answering a call shouldn't have been as frustrating as it was for me. This tip is invaluable and again I say, thank you sir. :)
I agree, swipe to answer is very frustrating, and Samsung doesn't make it any easier by hiding, or in some instances, removing the option to tap to answer. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, and thank you for watching!
I hope we're all aware of the fact that we're following a TUTORIAL just to be able to answer a damn phone!!!
Lol yep 😄
hahahahahahahahahaha, yes we are.
Oh my goodness how true this is. Want to throw it out the window!!!
I know, stupid right? It should be a simple option that is easy to find in the phone app itself not having to sift through a bunch of settings options just to get to it and having to enable a menu that should literally have nothing to do with it. I think Samsung developers are on drugs when they come up with stuff like this.
Amen!
Followed your instructions to the letter. It worked! Thanks for sharing.👍
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much I have been having trouble with incoming calls that I can't answer, this has made things easier.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Brilliant and straight to the issue.
Could I ask you to upload a quick tutorial on deleting unwanted contacts from phone please.
Thanks
Colin
Thanks for posting this. I recently lost the ability to answer my phone by tapping the button and couldn't find the correct procedure to reactivate that function. The posts on Google were all missing the step to turn on the "Assistant Menu". It was very frustrating because I had already turned on the "single tap to swipe" (as Google recommended) but it didn't restore the feature until the assistant menu was tuned back on (as you explained in this video). I appreciate the help! Keep up the great work! :)
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this. I was missing calls on my new galaxy s9. However that assistant was driving me crazy and I was not able to make it go away by holding it and using the 'X' to remove. But I did find a way. Under the same setting where the Single tap to swipe was set, I selected "show as and edge icon" and i changed the size from medium to small. Now its no longer in my way as I don't use the edge icons. Hope that helps someone who can't get rid of the assistant
Thank you for the tip and thank you for watching!
Thank you for that! I saw the video to change the call from swipe to tap also, then found that annoying assistant icon on my screen and i didn’t have the ‘x’ to make it go away either! I followed your advice and it disappeared, thank you soooo very much!
@@christinamattas6207 glad it helped. It hasn't disappeared, it's just very small off to the edge of the screen. Every now and then I STILL hit it accidrntly based on what I'm doing on my phone but can find a way get around it. Again glad the workaround was helpful
Yes it worked for me to. Thanks
Thank you, I like to think of myself as pretty tech savvy, I've set up all sorts complicated tech 'stuff'. Answering calls on my new work phone had me flummoxed, I actually thought there was something wrong with the phone! You've sorted it in 60 seconds!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Great fix! Works perfectly. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching!
This has been making me buggy. Other explanations told me to remove sim card, stand on by head, et cetera. You helped me get this done the first time, and i didn't even have to stand on my head. Thank you.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
A million thank yous! I was getting so frustrated with the swiping. You just made my day get better.!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this! Works like a charm and now I'm not aggravated with that swipe that didn't work half the time!
Hey Buddy!
Thanks for the help now we can pick up our phones on time!
Greetings Denmark
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thanks so much for offering it. It solved my ANNOYING swipe problem very quickly in regard to the ON button for picking up incoming calls. Thanks again!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
One of the most helpful videos on youtube!! Thank you sir!!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!

Great thanks for that you made my life so much easier I had the same issue as Agastya. I am so happy now. Thanks your a champion
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you!!! It’s been driving me mad to find this solution. Much appreciated!!!!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
So happy I found your video! Thank you SO much! The swipe to answer feature was so frustrating.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thanks for that! I have an A52s and i didn’t realise i had to swipe the phone icon to answer the call! Duh! I was used to tapping the icon from my old samsung, which i find easier. Been looking at so many videos but none had the same settings as my phone, except your video, so much appreciated! You;re absolutely right about samsung and changing things for no good reason, making it more complicated to do simple tasks. I much preferred my old S6 than this new phone!
Same here. I was getting so pissed off.
Thank you Sir. I couldn't understand why I couldn't answer the phone, I knew nothing about swiping it. Thank you I would rather tap it anyway. You have made me very happy with my new A11 phone. Cheers to you..
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching.
I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, NEVER KNEW I HAD TO SWIPE IT TO ANSWER !!!
Thanks man this is actually works very simply explained.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Hey thank you very much. I don't get allot of calls but always forget to swipe to the right. This will be so much better just to tap the phone button to answer. Awesome!
Thank you so much, I have missed so many calls. I have seen so many videos and this is the only video that has helped me. Thank you so much.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot guy! My Galaxy 50 phone drove me crazy! I would swipe and the stupid thing would hang up incoming calls! I followed your directions and it was 95% the same so i managed to change it to single tap. Cheers
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much, I had gotten a new All and couldn't figure it out.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you. Just got a Samsung for the first time two days ago and I couldn't answer the phone when it rang today. It had lost the "Answer" button. Followed your instructions and they have worked. Thank you very much
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Did you manage to hide the assistant app
Can't remove the assistant menu I'm afraid, you don't get the option to hide when you press on it on my phone. I agree it is very annoying and best removed. Will have to revert to no single tap at the moment. Thanks
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Dude. Thank you so much. This really helped a lot
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you for this fix.

Thank you for this! It worked on my 22S!
Thank you for watching!
very helpful! Thanks a bunch
Thank you for watching!
Just as important as knowing how to set up the tap method which I learned a while back is getting rid of the accessibility Assistant menu icon as it was always getting in the way of doing anything else on the phone and I always had to move it. As you mention it is very annoying. Thank you for explaining that part as I was at the point of getting rid of the Tap feature. The hiding of the Assistant menu icon is working on my S9 Plus here in Canada … I see that some are commenting that you can’t do that any longer so maybe it is phone provider or country dependant. Without being able to hide that icon I don’t feel the Tapping feature is worth it and it would be better to use the Volume Up technique. Thanks for the help.
Edit update. After just doing a Samsung software upgrade I can’t tap and hold to hide the Assistant menu. I found this solution online.
After turning on the Assist mode and Single tap mode, go back to Settings and Apps > tap 3 dots > tap Show system apps > tap Accessibility > scroll down to Advanced and tap Appear on top > Turn off Allow permission > finally tap Force stop.
This will have to be done every time you restart the phone but at least it is a way to get rid of that Assistant menu and keep the Tap to Answer.
That part doesnt work for me ??
@@akaCamo Thanks for the advice dude. This shit is still bugging me since samsung never cares about this problem.
Brilliant! thank you so much, very simply explained step by step, I would have never figured this out!
Thanks again 😄
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you, Techdog47!! Sanity restored:)
Thank you for watching!
U da man, bro.
Thanks!

thanks, im new to samsung
Samsung devices have a lot of interesting and fun features to offer, enjoy your new phone and thank you for watching!
Thank you. I able to do this as you talked. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for this video. Just let you know I just got a Samsung S22, and this helped me to change from the swipe to answer to the tap to answer. It is still there in the accessibility section, just had to locate it under some other headings. Works great, great video, well done, thanks again.
I'm glad the video was helpful, enjoy your new S22 and thank you for watching!
@@Techdog47 great content. But seems that I can't get rid of the assistant menu like how you described it. It's annoying to have that on my screen. Can't seem to hide it on my new S22 Ultra
I haven't got my S22 yet, but once I do I'll be searching for a solution, hopefully there is one!
Thank you it works!
Thank you for watching!
I had lost so much money calling back people who were trying to call me but i couldn't answer. Now , problem is solved. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!
YOU ROCK. You fixed my phone
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you for this. Like many of the commenters here, I had also missed or almost missed several calls, despite swiping the green button up, down or across. Very frustrating!
I agree, I think the tap to answer should be the default. Anyhow I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
This is great. The breakthrough for me from this video was how to hide the annoying assistant menu icon.
life saved..thank you sir. :)
Thank you for watching!
Thank You so much for your very easy to follow enabling Single Tap Answer Option .. was constantly losing connection with so many in coming calls.. lt worked and l have a Samsung A8 in the UK : )

Thank you! I have a galaxy note 20 and they did a huge update 2 days ago. It changed a lot of stuff on my phone...it would have taken me forever to find the touch answer button again!
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
OMG! There IS a God!!! Thanks sooo much for this logical answer to an illogical Samsung trait!
Thanks a lot for your efforts 👍👍
Thank you for watching!

I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot, is really help.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for watching!
Thank you, it worked perfectly. Only thing is for some reason I can't get rid of the the 'assistent menu' icon the way you mentioned in your video. I did the tap/swipe, etc. but it's still there, LOL. Just need to practice some more to get it right. Agasin, the phone answering thing works perfectly. I appreciate it. Thanks
Samsung has made getting rid of the assistant virtually impossible. I don’t have a Samsung Galaxy phone running the latest software (I’m still using the Note 9) but I will be getting the S23 Ultra, and I need to find a way (if one exists) of hiding the assistant. I apologize for not being able to offer more of a solution at this time.
Thank you for posting this info..👍🏼👏👏👁👁
