My iPhone X Max drops my calls

My phone will not allow me to answer calls when putting the phone to my ear, I can answer with headphones, apple car, apple watch but not with phone.

Hello, gema53.


It looks like no one has responded to your question. Here are a couple things that might help others answer your question:


What happens when you try to answer a call?


Are you able to swipe to answer or are you unable to hear your callers?


What is your current iOS version? Go to Settings > General > About to find it.


Best regards.

Hi Gema,

I am looking for some clarity from you. Are you stating that you can no longer answer your calls just by raising it to your ear? I ask because this function is not available on an iPhone. The only way you can simulate something like this is to set your iPhone to auto answer you calls (for example, with a 3 second delay) and then you can pick it up and move the iPhone to your ear. This is a work around however it will always answer your calls whether you move your iPhone to your ear or not. This is not the right solution in my opinion but just wondering whether you had a setup such as that one.

There are hacks that are available via a jailbreak to make this happen however I strongly advise against jailbreaking your iPhone. Is your iPhone jailbroken? If YES then I can't discuss any further on this.

Did I completely misunderstand your post? It is possible.
