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

I also have this problem and it is completely unacceptable to the point where I am thinking of switching from my iPhone.

apple does not seem to care about this issue.

does anyone gave a circumvention to get around it?

Was in my toyota sienna the other day and the phone was tied into their system via bluetooth. After I person I was talking to hung up, the **** phone automatically started calling a random number in the contact list! hit the end icon on the display screen and the stupid phone started calling someone else. since I was drivin I had to pull over and find the phone in my jacket!

I can't stand this phone calling people after I hang up! Come on Apple! For what we pay for these #@$%# phones Apple should make this a top priority! Iphone 13 pro Max. Update after update ! Fix this NOW !!

I might have a alternative to a solution for the moment.

If you want to end the call, do not press the red hang out button, just press the power button. I know it locks the phone but its the only thing I can think of for now

I have this problem with phone automatically dialing people after a phone call is ended. As well as once I hit the end button only to discover it actually did not hang up, this happens multiple times a day. It has also just made calls all on its own when phone is locked and in my case. I have had my iPhone 11 and now 13 hacked people have been able to access my phone and do all types of things. iPhone are no where near as secure as we are made to believe

How do I fix my husbands iPhone 13 that keeps calling people after he hangs up

There is nothing to "fix" on the phone. Ending the call by using the power button will prevent this from happening.

MY iPhone also calls on its own. After hanging up on a call. I sit the phone down. Next thing I know. The phone has randomly called someone else. Also they listened to my conversation when I didn't know the phone had called someone. This is very disturbing! Not safe!

I wish Apple would add at least a 500 millisecond pause between phone calls so that you don't call someone else just due the process of trying to hang up BUT the other phone of the call hangs up right before you do. I call my wife frequently from the Favorites list and I will invariably accidentally dial the same person that shows up on the list where the Red button was on the call screen. Its really just a matter of debounce.

January 3rd 2024 and this is still a problem.

it’s really a shame that Apple chooses to keep this harassing end call feature. This never used to be a problem and it’s now been years of these different “discussions” and yet absolutely no relief or solutions.

Please Apple God, help us! So many “butt dials” because of this. Just reposition the red end call button to a spot that doesn’t overlay a contact that can be dialed inadvertently! This should be easy enough to do with a simple software update.

I totally agree. This is super annoying and frankly I’m tired of having to explain to people that I didn’t intend to call them. It seems this is a big enough issue @apple that it’s time to stop ignoring people and do something about it! 😡 This discussion has been happening since 2021. Is three years not enough time to fix the problem? SMH

Instead of pressing the contact name under recents to give them a call, try pressing the "information" button located at the right of contact name, next to time, to bring up the contact card. Calling from contact card will help solve this problem. But of course, you need to consider the additional step involved.

In response to ypmaiya’s suggestion, I have never considered this but it would work. However, I’m not interested in adding extra clicks to avoid what is to me, a simple fix for Apple to make a correction that solves the problem. To plagiarize Nike, JUST DO IT, Apple!

Seriously, this is super-annoying and makes me thinking of switching to Android after 15 years of iPhones!

you could also grey the part of the caller list “behind” the end call button for 1/2 to 1 sec after the other person ends the call.

I think a very easy fix for a company, that cared so much about practicality in the past!!!

We're well in to 2024 and this is still an issue?

Surely in the long list of things that need to be fixed, this is the lowest of hanging fruit?

Take off all the bells and whistles, and this device is first and foremost a phone. It needs to be able to make, answer and end phone calls. How can you justify being bad at one of those 3 things for several years?
