If you use the mobile version of Skype for daily communication with colleagues, friends, and family, you may encounter an issue where the messenger automatically answers incoming calls. Currently, an increasing number of users are contacting Microsoft support regarding this issue that has arisen on Android devices. Many customer reviews have appeared on support forums reporting that the Skype application accepts all incoming calls automatically.

It is unknown when the problem started, but based on customer reports, the first cases of automatic answering of incoming calls were recorded as early as January this year. At this time, there is no workaround that allows users to disable Skype from accepting incoming calls. According to several online sources, even with the 'Automatically answer incoming calls' option turned off, the app will still do this. The only way to resolve the issue related to automatic call acceptance is to remove the messenger from the device's memory.
Microsoft specialists promptly responded to the emergence of this issue. After necessary work was conducted, a beta version of Skype was released, in which the fault was fixed. This version is currently undergoing testing, but anyone interested can download it if needed. A full version of Skype for Android that works correctly is expected to be released soon. It is anticipated that this will happen within the current month.
