OnePlus: Turn Smart Answer for Bluetooth On or Off

If your OnePlus phone keeps ringing on your Bluetooth headset instead of picking up calls on its own, the Smart Answer for Bluetooth feature is probably switched off. Some car kits and speaker systems only work smoothly when a call connects automatically, without you tapping a button. A wired headset or a different earphone mode can also leave this setting in the wrong state.

Enable or Disable Smart Answer for Bluetooth auf OnePlus

Smart Answer for Bluetooth controls whether an incoming call connects automatically once your OnePlus phone is paired with a headset, earbuds, or a car system. Without it, every call still rings and waits for you to tap the answer button, even if your hands are busy driving or your phone is out of reach.

The setting lives inside the earphone mode options, separate from the general call settings menu. That is why many users search the wrong section and assume the feature does not exist on OxygenOS.

To change it, open SettingsSounds & vibrationEarphone modeEnable or disable Smart Answer for Bluetooth.

Turning the option on makes sense for car Bluetooth systems and speakerphones where a fast connection matters more than screening the caller first. Leave it off if you prefer to check the caller ID before every call connects, especially on shared or public Bluetooth speakers.

If calls still are not answered automatically after enabling this, check that the connected accessory supports hands-free call profiles and that Bluetooth stays connected in the background.

Frequently asked questions

No. The setting only applies to devices connected through Bluetooth, such as headsets, earbuds, or car systems reached via Earphone mode.
