During a call, when I bring my phone down the screen fails to wake up. I need to click the volume buttons or the power button. This is an issue noticed across multiple devices in my family.

is anyone else facing the same issue? Is there a solution for it ?

Hey JovonaP,

I have tried restarting the phone multiple times and the iPhone 11 is currently running on 14.7.1 version.

I had initially assumed it was screen protector issue as well and have removed and checked. But the issues persists.

This issue only happens during calls.


I haven't tried other trouble shooting steps. Let me know if there are any.


Thank you!
