I only have Google, and Telephone.

These are the things that drive me crazy!!! As a 50 year old sw engineer with 25 years experience, these kind of inconsistent bugs across users/devices are very annoying :-(

I have disabled the feature.

I have now
- Google v 14.21.13.29
- Google Play Services v 23.18.19

Yeah, similar background here, but not much Android/Linux work, other platforms.
You can certainly debug this, in a more succinct manner, but it's much more involved.

I do see where this could be annoying, but I bet there's some weird old app, acquiring/acquired (depending) its permissions through some obscure method, that's where my money is anyway...

    When receiving a call in full screen the "say answer" pill is covering the top of the screen

    As a friendly FYI, you may want to edit your pic to remove your personal information for safety and privacy concerns.

    Is there a way to disable the feature to answer calls by voice saying "answer"?

    When receiving a call in full screen the "say answer" pill is covering the top of the screen

    It's in Accessibility Settings/Voice Access

    Also maybe consider blurring the number and name? Just saying.

    So, I have opted out of all beta apps and now I have

    Google Phone 105.0.5349... (same as you)
    Google Play Service 23.17.17 (newer than you)
    Google App 14.20.11.29 (same as you)

    And I am still getting the pill on top and not in the center.

    I have also tried different screen setting, to no avail.
    Do you have a Pixel 7 or 7 PRO?
    The screenshot I uploaded above is from a Pixel 7 Pro. But I also have it displayed in the same area on a Pixel 6a.
