I use Skype on my iPhone all of the Time. A 2 finger double tap won't work. I tend to do a one finger double tap on the alert and then quickly do a one finger swipe to the right to video and do a one finger double tap on this. This is the only way I know to answer a Skype call.

However I have seen that changing the Skype notifications to Alerts instead of banners will help. That way if you are getting a Skype call, you can double tap it from the notification area on your lock screen and unlock your phone. The trick is, you still have to find the answer button because a two finger double tap will not work from what I understand. Not the best solution unfortunately. If others on the list have better solutions for this, I am also all ears. --- Sent from Raul's rectangular glass - 832.554.7285 Please excuse any auto complete or dictation weirdness. > On Jan 26, 2014, at 10:23 AM, Robin Christopherson <robin.christopher...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear listers > > When I have Skype running and my phone is locked I can't answer a call quickly enough and people hang up. As a consequence I don't know the steps involved or if there is a quicker method. It takes me a few seconds to take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it and, as I say, by that time they've stopped ringing so I'm not sure what I'll see if I did get there in time. > Does anyone know if there is a way of answering directly from the home screen (I do have it set up with Touch ID) or, if you do need to unlock the phone first, what's the quickest way from that point to answer the call?
