As a default, you’ll simply launch the phone application and then tap the number you want to dial by using the “tap-to-dial ” tap to dial” feature. If you are unable to access the phone application for any reason, then download it here.
If you are unable to download the app from the Playstore, the device you’re using is not compatible. You must choose it as your default phone application if you’ve downloaded the app. At the bottom, a menu will appear asking to choose a default phone application.
Before proceeding, be sure to configure the phone app to be your default. A popup will prompt for the same when calling. Follow the steps below to call:

- Enter the number on the dial pad, or tap to ” Contacts” If you already have the number stored.
- When you have entered or selected the number, click on the phone button.
- You will see a new screen with your name or number on top. The ringing should be going now. Your call will be answered right now. To end the call, just click on the stop button located at the end of the screen.

How do I solve Answer My Phone?
If you’re facing an issue when receiving or not receiving the call, we have some suggestions to use. Just follow each one of them, and the issue will be solved in no time.
Rebooting: Sometimes, this is due to a minor bug that could come as a result of the release of a new update. It can be fixed by restarting the computer, and the next update will resolve the issue just like it always has. However, if this isn’t effective for you, it’s time to go to another step.
Verify any changes in the UI
The UI of a device can be so different that it can cause problems performing tasks the way you used to. For instance, Samsung changed its UI to a more modern style, and it also changed how they responded to and denied the call. Before the update, the buttons were distinct, and however, now, they’re gone.
Another example is OnePlus, in which, for you to accept the call, you have to swipe downwards, but with Samsung, it will not accept calling if the swipe is upwards.
If you’re a Samsung user and would like to switch the style to an older version, follow these steps:
- Go to the Settings on your phone and then go to Accessibility.
- Then look for the Assistant Menu and Interactions. Once you have found it, you can turn off the switch.
- There’s a “Single tap to swipe” option beneath the toggle. Please turn it on.
- Then you’ll be able to utilize the single-tap buttons to answer and decline calls.
Note If you wish to delete this floating menu symbol following activating one tap on the screen, make a long tap that floating menu symbol, then drag it away to conceal it. It will be removed, and you won’t be able to view it after doing this.
Reinsert your SIM
This could be the case if you recently switched to a different phone or sim or if you lost your phone. Whatever the reason, this trick is usually effective even if you don’t use the SIM or phone.
Simply remove the SIM tray, remove your SIM Clean contacts (goldern chips on in the rear of the SIM) with a microfiber cloth. Insert the SIM again, and start your phone.
Change the aeroplane mode on and off mode.
The restriction of internet connectivity by forcing us to restart the connection might be a good idea for us. It’s worth a try as it will take between 10 and 20 seconds to complete; just follow the steps below:
- The menu is accessible from at the very top of your phone (some phones include this menu on the lower part of the phone).
- When the menu appears, you can tap the aeroplane option that will be displayed by the plane icon.
- After that, you should wait for about 15 minutes before turning it back on. Press the button to shut off the device.
- You are likely to be able to make calls right now.
- Clean the data and then catch (Phone app)
This method works for a lot of users because the issue lies related to the app and not your SIM as well as the phone generally. It is possible to clean out the app’s data that causes problems. However, remember that it will erase all login details and other data files.
In this instance, the contact data and call history will be deleted when you perform the data cleaning. Make sure to do this only in the event that you are unable to repair it using one of the other methods described in this article. Follow the steps listed below to reset your app’s data:
- Go to the Settings menu on your phone and then go to Settings.
- Under settings, search for Apps and Notifications and then open it.
- Then search for ” Phone App” (If you’re unsuccessful in finding it, then just press the three dots on the top and click on ” Show system apps“).
- Open the app, and then start ” Storage” First, tap on ” Clear cache” and then click on ” Clear storage“.
- If you’re being requested to confirm your identity, do the confirmation and then launch the Phone application, you are able to initiate calls right now. This will answer my phone problem.
Alternative way:
- Hold and press the Phone icon for the app and search for “App details” Tap it, and you’ll be taken to the settings page for the application.
- Then, tap the app, and then open “Storage” First, tap on “Clear cache” and then click on “Clear storage“.
- If you’re requested to confirm your identity, do the confirmation and then launch the Phone application. You are able to initiate calls right now.
- Update the OS
This isn’t the most effective method as the update isn’t available until the developers announce an update. Nevertheless, it’s worth an attempt. To determine if your device has received any update or not, go to settings and look to find “Update“.
Additionally, you can determine whether the Phone application is updated available or not. Click this link to see if it is available. If you find an update available, simply tap the update button, and wait until it is completed. Restart your device after the app has been successfully updated.
Fix third-party phone application
If you’re using third-party phone applications that are branded as truecaller, then they could be the cause of the issue. You must either make to use the original Phone app to be the default or turn off the third-party app to resolve the issue. Follow the steps listed below:
- Open the Settings app on your phone and then look at ” Apps & Notifications“.
- Look to ” Default apps” Click at the three dots at the highest point of the screen.
- Tap it, and a brand new menu will be opened. You can choose the phone app.
- Then, tap ” System default app” and then look at ” Caller ID & Spam settings“.
- Select it and then select the native phone app, or choose ” none” in case you wish to switch to another application the next time.
Reset app preference
This is an alternative to the App clean-up trick as this won’t erase any data, but it will reset the application’s settings. But, remember that all settings will be restored to default settings once(as it was with the app when it was first launched). Following the instructions below for this:
- Open Settings and search at ” Apps” or ” Apps & Notifications“.
- Tap onto the triangle on the right at the very top. Now press ” Reset app preferences“.
- If you’re not able to locate the settings, visit Settings > System -Reset Options> Reset the app preference.
