You can go to Settings->Accessibility->Touch->Call Audio Routing->Auto-Answer Calls.


You can set a specific time for the phone before it will automatically answer the call. You can also set it to go straight to speaker if required.


If you want to limit calls it auto answers to only specific people, you can add the contacts to the Favorites List and then Turn on Do not Disturb, and set the allow calls to only form Favorites.


Any calls coming in from the favorites list will be auto answered, and any other calls will be blocked from even ringing.
