How to answer and end calls using the hardware buttons on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge

One not so well known feature the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge both sport is the ability to answer incoming calls by pressing the Home button and disconnect an ongoing call by pressing the Power button instead of having to use the on-screen controls. Unfortunately, the facility to answer and end calls using the hardware buttons doesn’t come enabled straight out of the box, so we have to turn it on manually.

Here’s how:

Head into Settings.
Select Accessibility.
Tap on Answering and Ending Calls.
Slide all of the toggles from Off to On.

That’s all there is to it. Now when you receive a telephone call, you’ll be able to hit the Home button to accept the call and tap the Power button to end it. If you happen to run into any issues along the way, do be sure to let us know in the comments section below, and we’ll do our very best to get you back on track.
