How do you answer calls with voice on Pixel 6?

Published in Pixel 6 Calling 2 mins read

You can answer or reject calls hands-free on your Pixel 6 using your voice if Call Assist is enabled.

Here's how:

  1. Ensure Call Assist is enabled: This feature is often part of the Google Assistant settings. Check your Google Assistant settings for "Call Assist" or similar options relating to hands-free calling. The specific location may vary based on Android version and Pixel updates.

  2. Use Voice Commands: When a call comes in, you can use the following voice commands:

    • "Hey Google, answer the call." This will answer the incoming call.
    • "Hey Google, reject the call." This will decline the incoming call.

Important Considerations:

  • "Hey Google" Detection: Make sure your Pixel 6 is properly configured to recognize "Hey Google" or "Ok Google." This feature needs to be enabled for the voice commands to work. Go to your Google Assistant settings and confirm voice activation is turned on.

  • Ambient Noise: Loud environments may interfere with Google Assistant's ability to understand your voice commands. Try to speak clearly and loudly.

  • Permissions: Ensure Google Assistant has the necessary permissions to access your phone and manage calls.

  • Updates: Keep your Pixel 6 and Google Assistant app updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility and the best performance.
