iphone 11 making random calls to contacts without me initiating anything

jkm8033t,

Thanks for clarifying that for us. It sounds like you're seeing a green indicator in your iPhone status bar when the screen is locked or unlocked, you've turned off Voice Control, and you have a new screen protector. Let's continue working together to sort this out.

If you remove the screen protector, does that seem to help?

"A green indicator means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone." Keeping that in mind, let's take a closer look at which apps have permission to use the camera and microphone. Let us know what you find. Learn more here:

Also, have you checked to be sure your iPhone is running the latest software version, iOS 14.4.1? You can go to Settings > General > About to check. Should you need it, this link provides details about how to update your iPhone:

Take care.
