Hello thaina17,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand wanting to disable a feature of the iPhone and will explain.


There is no setting that can disable the proximity sensor. You can try troubleshooting the app itself by removing it and adding it back to the iPhone: How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Have a great day.
