Vent Motorola phone instructions!

Why don't they tell you how to answer the phone???
Nowhere in the instructions does it tell you this!
So sometimes the phone rings and there is a box with answer on it and you press the box to answer, easy.
Other times the screen flashes and there is a phone symbol in the middle, you can tap it, swipe it up, down, left or right but the phone keeps ringing!
Eventually I found you have to hold your finger on the flashing phone and a green phone symbol appears to the right, you then carefully slide the flashing phone over to the green phone.
But my vent is why isn't this in the instructions?

Would your definition of "thick people" include individuals who clearly don't understand the correct use of capitalisation and punctuation when writing English?

I sympathise, and am going to look even thicker I guess. I was on a gig in Egypt and had a simple Nokia handset. The kind that are a tenner here, battery lasts forever, made of tank steel, very simple few front buttons. I couldn't work out how to answer a call, nor how to increase the call volume on that! And I usually get exclusively bleeding-edge phones!

Its not just Motorola, its other makes too, to be honest Ive no issue with lack of instructions.

Ok so I am thick! But why do the simple instructions that came with it include so much I will never use but not this basic information?

Yes I know it is in the full online instructions but it is not in the small booklet that comes with the phone!
