Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Can’t answer calls then phone freezes and I have to restart

Why can’t I answer calls with slide or push button

Hello Bigtig12,


Thank you for posting your question. As I understand it, your iPhone stops responding when you answer a call. Answering calls is important, and I'll be glad to see how I can help with this.


Are you able to make calls? Knowing this would help in narrowing things down. If not, this could be helpful: If you can't make or receive calls on your iPhone


Does your device stop responding in any other circumstances? If it does, it might help to tap Settings > Battery > Battery Health to see if there are any alerts about your battery or performance management: iPhone Battery and Performance


Also, generally speaking, updating your device to the latest iOS software might be helpful: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Have a good day.
