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

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.

After pressing the red end call button my phone begins to immediately call another person on my favorites list. I’m known as the butt dialer of the family. I call multiple family members unknowingly each day by accident. Can you Please help!

No one participating in this forum would know Apple's plans for the future. You can let Apple know your thoughts here:

This is INFURIATING. Why hasn't this been fixed? Ending the call with the power button is a workaround, not a solution.

As the power button is intentionally programmed to end calls, it seems like it would be more accurate to say it's an option.

Have you let Apple know your thoughts about this? It will only get attention if enough people report it.

There’s no point in going around in circles. That’s the way iPhones work. Period. End of discussion. If you don’t like it, get a phone that works the way you do want it to work-if you can find one; Android phones work the same way. Perhaps a basic flip phone that hangs up when you close it. Or tell Apple you don’t like it→Product Feedback - Apple

Have the same issue. It’s so annoying! I haven’t found any solution, sadly. Looks like apple is just ignoring this anyway.

Tell Apple:

Meanwhile, use the sleep/wake button to end the call.

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!!!

You should tell Apple:

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

Not for some of us.

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?

If you end the call by tapping the side button, you won't have this problem. You can also let Apple know your thoughts on the matter here:

Alright Apple, somehow this major flaw still is still being ignored almost three years later. I have every Apple device under the sun. But due to these types of bugs in iOS and MacOS, I’ve decided to slowly transition to Google this summer starting by ditching my iPhone for a Pixel. As my MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc wear out, they will no longer be replaced. You’ve ignored too many flaws to justify these prices.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

And, you should always buy the devices that best meets your needs and budget.

Apple reads but won't respond

No, really, they don't read here for suggestions. Use the feedback link.

And use the side button.

There is an easy solution to your problem.

Yes annoying problem… please fix

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

I used to ask Siri for directions and navigation and Siri would always comment while on route with take a left not at this light but the next light. After updating, Siri has gone silent. I talked to a Apple C/S, did what they said and nothing helped.

I don't know what you've tried, but ensure you don't have spoken directions disabled. See the picture below-

The illustration you attached doesn’t have a speaker symbol on the screen!

I circled it in yellow. It looks like a cone with curved lines to the side. Here it is closer up-

Or do you mean your iPhone doesn't have that symbol on-screen?
