Illustrative Elder Dialler incoming-call screen for a fictitious known contact. — Incoming calls expose Answer and Decline rather than controls that are not yet valid.

When another call is waiting

Elder Dialler can present a waiting call while another call is active. The available choices can include ignoring or rejecting the waiting call, answering it, or ending the primary call before answering. Read the displayed action carefully because carrier and device behaviour can vary.

Do not recognise the caller? You do not have to answer. Ask a trusted person for help if you are unsure.

Accessibility

Caller identity and valid actions remain the meaningful TalkBack content. Decorative images are not announced twice, and larger app fonts retain reachable call actions.
