Q: Prevent Screen Lock During Calls
Since IOS 3, I've been asking Apple to add the option to prevent screen locking during phone calls. This is great for those of us who attend conference calls where you stay on mute until you need to speak to prevent background noise from being unnecessarily heard both other attendees. It's also a great feature for long phone calls where you'll say goodbye and try to disconnect the call but you cannot since the screen is locked.
I've requested this feature 28 times and so far nothing. Here is my 28th submission that I sent to Apple a few minutes ago . I suggested you follow suite if you want this feature.

I participate in a number of lengthy conference calls where I stay muted except when I need to speak. Usually I'll plug my iPhone headphones with mic in the phone and continue working on other things while listening to the others speak. When I need to say something, I need to be able to quickly unmute my phone in a timely fashion to do so. 100% of the time, I find that my phone has locked, and I have to waste time fidgeting around with the pass id, finding the phone app, getting it to the correct screen that has the mute button, and finally unmuting the phone.
If the phone could have a "prevent screen lock during calls" setting, it would remove this extra hassle and promote the use of the phone for business. As it stands, the only work around I know of is to manually tap the screen every few seconds.

I Have this problem too with iPhone 6 with iOS 10.0.1 and I have raised this issue multiple times during beta testing. This is happening to my other friends too so this is not only with me.
