You can customize pretty much any gesture. Find one you do not use and redefine it in the Commands settings.

This is a 16 pro running iOS 26. Earphones can still answer by tapping the button too. Certain earphones, I suspect by Apple, and maybe others you can tell Siri to answer.

I can fined the 'answer a call' button on the phone but I reckon a gesture whereby I can double tap on the screen would be preferable/quicker.
