Automatically answer phone call on iPhone

Is there a way (setting or via some app) I can set up my iPhone to automatically answer phone calls for me?

I work in an environment where I constantly receive a number of incoming phone calls. To make it physically less straining, I use my iPhone connected with my EarPods. It's a hassle to pick up the iPhone and slide on screen, or to reach out to press the button near microphone of my EarPods to answer the call.

I would also like to have a mechanism to configure the duration of time the iPhone rings before the call is answered.

I generally answer every call that I receive, irrespective of the caller. However, it would be nice to have the ability to know the name of the caller if the caller is a contact saved in my phonebook.

I am using an iPhone 8 running iOS 12.0.1.

Yes. There is a built-in accessibility setting that you can use for exactly this task.

On your iPhone, open Settings app, and navigate to General → Accessibility → Call Audio Routing (Under Interaction section) → Auto-Answer Calls. Tap on the switch shown against Auto-Answer Calls to enable it. (It is turned off by default)

Once enabled, you'll be shown the option to configure the duration of time to wait before the call is automatically answered. You can set any time from 0.0 seconds to 60.0 seconds in steps of 1 second.

To hear the caller name announcement, you can use another built-in mechanism. Go to Settings app and navigate to Phone → Announce Calls (Under Calls section) and select one of the desired options.
