iPhone XR Black Screen during Call

Sometimes my screen goes black during a call. I cannot go to the speaker or keyboard. I can sometimes see the screen by pressing the power button but then it goes back to black. Any help out there?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hi Jillfoalltrades,


It sounds like your screen is unexpectedly turning off while you are on a phone call. We can help with this!


If you haven't already, let's go ahead and restart your iPhone using these steps: Restart your iPhone


Also, be sure to complete any available software updates for your iPhone. You can find out more information about updating your iPhone here: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue persists and you are not using a case or screen protector on your iPhone, it's possible there may be an issue with your iPhone hardware. Our service options vary by country/region and you can find out what service options are available in your location here: Find Locations


We hope this helps.


Take care!
