How to Avoid Accidental Back-to-Back Calls on iPhone 13 Pro Max

Same here on iPhone 12 pro on iOS 15.

This is a major flaw in a core function of this device.

It is unsafe to use the red button to hang up a call.

Once I called my boss by accident at 11:30 PM, because unfortunately he was the entry under the red button at this moment.

OMG

Please Apple, do something! Your product should not lead to such shameful moments.

I wrote a product feedback suggestion to Apple two months ago, but nothing happended since then.

@Apple (in case anyone from Apple is reading here)

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start a call from "call history", e.g. from a missed call
2. When you are about to end the call, take the phone from your ear and look at it. There is a fullscreen "call window" with the red button to hang up the call.
3. When you intend to push the red button but your call partner is fragments of a second faster than you, the "call window" will disappear immediately and it can accidentally happen that you press the item in "call history", which was "behind" the red button and is immediately coming to foreground.

A solution would be to not let the "call window" disappear immediately when the other person hangs up. Instead, keep it open for half a second with the red button greyed out.

I have the same problem with the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Whenever I have started a phone call from the call list, I don't dare to hang up with the red button after the call has ended. Since it can happen if my conversation partner has hung up earlier, the page to hang up disappears and I then accidentally press any last contact from the call list.

Since the connection is established immediately, I have often called someone pointless in the last few months, which I did not want.

Apple please fix the problem, it's so annoying this error.

Happens to me all the time and it's very annoying and VERY preventable. It's super simple - allow a very easy setting change where you can disable touch to dial in the call list and require a swipe to call. Or like others have said leave the call window open for one second longer. Either way it's insane there has not been a fix for this very basic function that every single phone user in the world uses daily. PLEASE FIX THIS APPLE!

Yes, problem here too. Please, please, please, give us the courtesy of slow screen fade or repositioning of buttons when calls disconnect. Many faux pas dials for me...

Also a problem when a call comes in and you say "hey call coming I have to take... " if the other person hangs up before you switch over... instead of hitting "hang up and answer" it immediately turns into "ignore call" or something and you send your incoming call to vm.

As others have suggested here... either delay the call window from closing so fast or change the "touch to dial" to slide to dial. Simple fix for such an annoying issue. @apple help create a better user experience

Sounds like something you should tell Apple:

I think if the calling screen stayed up for even just one second, that would stop this from happening. I noticed that those at Apple make changes without thinking. For example, why the What's Next (calendar Widget) doesn't include the upcoming alarm (like it used to). I've seen that their solution is to open up the Alarm app, but I have so many set (MW alarms, TR alarm, Sat alarm Sun alarm, trash day alarm, early flight out alarm). Just show what which alarm will go off next this Widget.

I know, I went off on a tangent.

Take off all the bells and whistles, and this device is first and foremost a phone.

I respectfully disagree. It is a very powerful pocket-sized computer, that, incidentally, can make and receive phone calls.

..An adequate means to compensate for a cause of this issue

has been explained few times by Liftnd a thread participant..

With 15 pages and more than 2,000 'me too' remarks, easy to get frustrated

here ~ While this reply, shows where the closest post button was next to.

Best solution that worked for me is to change the time needed for phone to register the intended button press from like .10 second to whatever the next available increment was. It makes a big difference in my use of phone but it’s worth not making all those unintended calls

It never happened on any iPhone I have owned (and I have owned most models at one time or another) and it never happened with any version of iOS that I have had installed (and I have had all of them). So the only logical conclusion is that it is something that you are doing as you use the phone that is causing it.

Same issue. Very surprising and very disappointing to have no response at all from Apple when so many people are having this problem. If anyone from Apple is monitoring this please respond. Your “community” is getting pretty upset. If you are working on a solution, just say so. But SOME response is called for.

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple's participation here (beyond keeping order) is minimal. Apple doesn't read here for suggestions or feedback. They will not respond to this here.

If you just want to give feedback (I highly recommend you do so), use the feedback page:

Product Feedback - Apple

Apple is quite explicit that they won't respond from their either but that they do read all of the feedback.

If you want to speak to Apple directly, use the "Get Support" link at the top right of every page of these forums. However, it's unlikely that any customer support person you speak to will be able to give you the response you're looking for which I suspect is something on the order of a statement that it will be changed shortly.

But, the more people who submit feedback, the more likely things are to get changed.

Have you tried hanging up by using the power button?

As noted previously, Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user support forum. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

This is a user forum- you aren't addressing Apple here.

You can, however, submit feedback. You probably won't get a response, but if enough people report the issue, it will likely be seen.
