Apple has introduced a new feature in iOS 11 that lets your iPhone automatically answer calls.
By navigating to Settings > Accessibility > Call Audio Routing you can set where audio will be heard during a phone call or FaceTime audio call. Tapping 'Auto-Answer Calls' lets you enable the automatic answering of calls after a set amount of seconds.
Is this a feature you'd use? Let us know in the comments!

Could be useful while driving via Bluetooth. But that's about it.

This feature has been around on flip phones for ever. I never cared for it then.

I wouldn't use this feature. It might answer calls from people I either don't know or answer people I do know but at the wrong time (unless I have something like Sync 3 technology) but still.

What a nifty, new feature!! And you record your own response... Mighty reason to update, only the jailbreak holding me back and of course, iOS 11 being buggy for the time being.

Does it mean that it can be programmed to auto answer for specific people or will it be auto answer for anyone at any time ? That's what's not clear

If call answered by voice then it will be awesome.
