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

Since my new iphone 13 pro max (or maybe ios15?): when I hang up my call, i start immediately calling someone else, due to the fact the calling screen goes away so extremely fast if the other one on the phone is hanging up earlier: I press hang up, but the screen goes away so fast if the other one is faster, that I press calling the one in my list that was behind the "end phonecall button".

I didn't have this before, now I call 3 people a day by accident. Anyone else the same issue?

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.

Ok, don’t hang up at all. The phone will hang up by itself.

Or do what I do.... only ever text people.

You can use your side button to hang up.

I have the same issue. I think it must be an iOS 15 related-problem, as I don't recall it occurring before that. Now it's measured in accidental calls per day, sometimes per hour.

Apple -- please fix this. Quickly. It's making the primary function of my business phone very frustrating to use.

Mar 24, 2022 10:16 AM in response to smrschippers

I have the same problem. I make a call, end the call by pushing the red button. My iPhone 13 Pro Max will then make a random call from my contacts even while sitting on my desk. If I see it before the person answers, I will hit end again. The person calls back later to see what I wanted. If the person answers, I explain that my phone did it. My phone continues to make another call. Very frustrating and time consuming. For such an expensive phone, one would expect it to work as good, if not better than previous versions of the iPhone. I have had iPhones from the birth of the iPhones and never experienced this before.

I also had an incident when I yelled out to my wife in a store "where are you" and with my phone in my pocket, Siri answered "I am right here!"

Note: All of the calls above were made by selecting the contact, and not by using Siri

Apple, please fix this problem!
