Voice interaction at a primary device to access call functionality of a companion device

A method for using voice interaction to access functionality of a digital assistant of an electronic device during an active call at a companion device, the method comprising:

• at the electronic device having a processor, memory, and a speaker:
• receiving, from the companion device, audio data of the active call, wherein the audio data represents an utterance received by the companion device from a far-end party of the active call via an active call connection;
• determining, based on the audio data, whether at least a portion of the utterance corresponds to a predefined digital assistant trigger;
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the utterance corresponds to the predefined digital assistant trigger, causing a server to determine a user intent corresponding to the utterance;
• receiving, from the server, one or more commands representing one or more tasks to satisfy the user intent;
• determining, based on results of performing the one or more tasks, a digital assistant response;
• and
• transmitting the digital assistant response to the companion device, wherein the companion device transmits the digital assistant response to the far-end party via the active call connection.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a speaker;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving, from a companion device, audio data of an active call, wherein the audio data represents an utterance received by the companion device from a far-end party of the active call via an active call connection;
• determining, based on the audio data, whether at least a portion of the utterance corresponds to a predefined digital assistant trigger;
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the utterance corresponds to the predefined digital assistant trigger, causing a server to determine a user intent corresponding to the utterance;
• receiving, from the server, one or more commands representing one or more tasks to satisfy the user intent;
