Cant swipe to answer incoming call

Cant swipe to answer incoming call Incoming calls on my lg 3 phone are almost impossible to answer. The screen doesn't recognize the swiping motion and freezes up. I also have a red border around the outside edge of screen.

Go to Settings…..Accessibility……Motor & cognition…..Touch and hold for calls. Turn on to allow answering calls by touching the Answer button without swiping

"I'm having the same problem. Went to the store, tried it in there and I could answer.

Went home. Instead of swiping I held my finger on the green dot it worked. in the store. However, at home I pressed the green dot and didn't work. This is ridiculous. I have to call back every call. Luckily, I don't get too many. Any suggestions????"

Ah, my previous solution didn't stick. THIS works for me: before swiping to answer, press and hold the answer button for 1 second, then swipe before letting go.

"I have an LG G6. I solved my answering problem. Settings; Accessibility; Dexterity & Interaction; Touch and hold for calls.

Now I can answer or decline calls with a touch or tap. Hope this helps someone. Missed a lot of important calls. Barb Madison 11.24.19"
