I tried it and it works exactly as it is described. You go to Accessibility Settings and turn it on in Audio Call Routing, leave it at the 3 second default or change it to longer if you want and then if somebody calls you the call I s automatically answered after 3 seconds (or whatever you set). If you leave it at 3 seconds that means your phone most likely rings once and the other person will probably hear it ring once on their end and then the call is answered. Just remember not to turn this on if you are in the middle of something you don't want to share *smile*. I haven't played around with scenarios like when the phone is on Mute or Do Not Disturb, it would be interesting to see if either one of these is on whether Auto Answer will still answer. This could be potentially embarrassing because if you have your phone on Do Not Disturb because you are in a meeting or maybe because you are planning a romantic evening including various intimate activities you would never hear your phone ring if it's on Do Not Disturb yet if you also had auto answer on and it would answer whoever calls might hear things you'd rather keep private.
