Hello, may I put this question to the community, before asking Samsung directly: 

My partner is a person with a disability.  I want to answer incoming calls with a voice command like  "hey google  [or bixby]   answer call."  when the phone has been idle and the screen is blank/closed. For example my phone rings late at night on my bedside table and I cannot reach it.  I have no security set up on the phone.  It seems the phone will only respond voice to voice commands when the screen is active.   

I suspect the google or bixby can do this, but haven't figured out how as yet.  

Thanks

Hi. Is it possible to have a Bluetooth device nearby?
Our a smart watch. I found this in settings

Thanks for your suggestion, I guess this would mean wearing a smart watch to bed?  I'll look into this further.

Hi @legacyhardware, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately this option isn't available on our devices. An alternative you could try would be the method mentioned below for 'answer automatically' however it does require a bluetooth device connected. 

We do appreciate your feedback regarding this, and have passed it on internally.
