Hey there, I have an iPhone 11 with the latest iOS update. However, when I receive incoming calls, my phone screen stays dark and I have to hang up using the lock button. Afterwards, my screen will light back up and I can call the person back. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Thanks!

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Are you unlocking the phone when you receive a call? Is the screen also dark when you make a call? If it is you may have a screen protector or case that is blocking the proximity sensor that turns off the screen when you hold it to your face, so your face doesn’t trigger any “buttons”.
