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

Same issue. Solution:

call from your contacts/addressbook.

Until Apple comes with a solution and we are able to call from 'recent calls' list without this issue.

So in the meantime, avoid calling from recent calls list and call from contacts/addressbook.

Greetings, Marjon

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.

Yes, it is intolerable and embarrasing

Use the power button on the side of the phone to end the call.

@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.

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.

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?

That's not what happens. It doesn't turn into a call button, it IMMEDIATELY goes to the previous screen the phone was on. If that screen happens to be the recents call list, a previous phone number from several calls ago will be where the button was. This is especially annoying if, like me, you work in a different building every day starting at 5 AM and when hanging up with the building engineer or a coworker, you end up calling a customer from several days ago at 5 in the morning. It is a stupid issue that shouldn't be an issue.

How it used to work, how it should work, and how it works on Android is the hang up button turns gray and it says "Call Ended" at the top of the screen. There is a youtube link in one of my earlier comments showing exactly what happens. Here it is again: v=jpvmf446jjA

I guarantee that you don't have a problem with it because of how you use the phone, but your phone does not have a delay when the other end hangs up. It's how iOS works. Be glad it doesn't bother you. Since you rely on the other end of the phone to hang up and don't even bother trying to hang up yourself, you won't have a problem with it.

It started in iOS 14 or 15. Apple chose to remove the 1 second or so delay where it said "Call Ended" before going back to the screen you were on before when the other end hangs up. Next time you're with someone that has your number, have them call you, answer and go to the full screen phone; Watch your phone screen and have them hang up. There will be a fraction of a second where you can see the "Call Ended" message while the active call is going away.

Here is a YouTube example of what it's like: watch?v=7EIEnpNLtA4

Notice how the android phone on the left says "Call Ended" for about 2 seconds when the iPhone hangs up. The iPhone used to work that way, but now it disappears almost instantly as you can see. It only shows "call ended" for 2 frames of the video, which is ~66 ms or 0.066 seconds.

The only fix I found that is effective is to go and increase your time needed to touch screen for the phone to register as an intended action. You can increase it to the very next available option and it makes a big difference but there are cons to this fix as all your inputs are changed to this new change which takes some time to get adjusted to but worth it to stop all the mistaken phone calls and returned calls from those u unintentional calls

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.

Yes annoying problem… please fix

Just use the power button to end the call. Problem fixed.

I now hang up by hitting the home button, but if I want to make another call, I have to start all over. Nice going Apple, time to get some real users in your design lab.

I changed my time needed for phone to Register actual touch on phone from .10 second to .20. Works for me takes some time to adjust too though

Actually just found this solution on another thread...

"You could use the power button to hang up instead. "

It works...now I just have to remember to do that instead of hitting the red button.

End the call using the side button. Or, just slow down a little.
