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

The issue happens to everyone, because it's how iOS works. Whether someone thinks it's a problem depends on how they use the phone.

Spoken to two other iPhone owner who have the same problem. Very annoying for a high end product.

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

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.

I'm struggling with this, too on my XS. I have "solved" the problem by not hanging up. Very annoying! Especially when the remote end does not hang up within a few seconds.

Is there a workaround of sorts?

Happens to me daily. So, so frustrating. The unfortunate person that always gets called now expects my calls are accidental. Yesterday he commented, "So you're actually calling me this time?"

Apple, please fix this. It's very frustrating.

I'm not joking, can I pay some developer from Apple to fix this? It's so bad!

Can someone name some developer or people inside Apple who use Twitter ore something? Maybe more easily to reach them there?

I suppose it's not possible to make a app that's prevent this?

Yep! I accidentally call my Mother-in-law EVERYTIME someone is quicker on the (hang up) draw than I am. Is there a way to change which screen the defaults too after a call disconnects? (rather than my contacts)

This issue has been plaguing me since iOS 15 released and I finally decided to check if I was the only one and wow apparently not lol. I've had some really embarrassing moments thanks to this. I'm not sure you can really call this a bug but it's definitely something Apple overlooked during their testing. I'm really surprised a solution hasn't been given yet by Apple but maybe there just hasn't been enough people vocal about it. I've essentially been quiet about it for months because I mostly thought it was my fault.

This is still an issue. I've been under the impression for the last several months that it was just me... apparently not.

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:

Same here on my SE. I accidentally call my boss 2-3 times a day. Now I just stare at the red button for 10 seconds before I hang up. That helps, but doesn’t solve it. Sometimes, I still get the timing wrong. It’s very frustrating. I’m relieved to see it’s not just me, but man, is it infuriating (but not shocking) that Apple hasn’t fixed it. I’ve been pretty done with them ever since they removed the original headphone jack. It’s like Apple is hellbent on making life MORE difficult for us. Technology is supposed to be helpful. Apple is more concerned with being uselessly “innovative” than listening to what we actually want or need.

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.

Thanks, then I'll just wait until it either hangs itself up, or the battery dies (or Apple decides to fix the problem).

It seems absurd to me to avoid using an easy solution in the hopes that Apple may some day, provide a different solution. But, hey, I like easy.

Easy to use sarcasm too while waiting for Apple to decide fix things for their customers.

It wasn't sarcasm. There is a simple solution to your problem that, for some reason, you don't want to use. Best I can tell, the reason is because you're trying to make some point to Apple. But, as Apple doesn't read here, it's a kind of cutting off your nose to spite your face thing. But, your nose, your face. You do you.
