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

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

I’ve had my IPhone 11 for a few years. Just in the last 2 or 3 months this is happening. If I call someone from my Favorites list, when I hang up it automatically dials the next person on the list. I have to close the window completely or it keeps calling the next person and then the next after that. . Very frustrating.

Me too and thousands of others! When will Apple put a fox in for this? It’s not rocket science and the premium we pay for this device, it deserves some attention. Bad enough people can’t hear me on speaker because it cuts in and out (iPhone 13 Pro Max)

Called my boss last Sunday at 02:30 am when I was in a club and ended a call, asking my buddy where he is. What makes this even worse is the speed, that the iPhone dials up the phone connection. After calling my boss I pressed the hang up Butten literally 1/10 of a sec. later and still he got a missed call and called me back 5mins later, asking me what’s going on…

this ist the third time, this happend with my boss. He must think I am an absolute idiot… that’s why I googled for a fix and I am shocked that this problem is discussed since over a year.

I experience this same problem on a regular basis. Actually I’m almost certain anyone who owns an iPhone has or has had this same problem. At this point I imagine Apple finds it funny to know we have to deal with this issue. They’re all either laughing or don’t care. Otherwise this would have gotten fixed long ago. It’s not rocket science, the solution is simple for these genius’s. It just doesn’t seem to be important to anyone on the team.

You can't end calls with the lock button if you're using a bluetooth headset or have it paired to your car. My aftermarket Android Auto box that I use with my personal phone takes over my car's display which hides where I'd be able to hang up a call from my work iPhone, so I have to hang up with the screen button.

Really? In 15 years of using iPhones it has absolutely NEVER happened to me.

Nope, doesn't happen to me. And yes, I use "Favorites" to make calls.

Yes, I could certainly make an effort to do what you're doing. But, the way I do it automatically, without thinking, doesn't result in my calling people. I personally feel no need to try to do it in such a way that causes problems.

I do this all the time, and phone are so quick now it usually goes through faster than I can hang up. Which of course leads people to call me back. This is one of those stupid issues that may drive me back to an android.

Since I got my new iPhone 13pro when I hang up from a call it immediately dials someone else. This is so frustrating especially when I read that this issue has been going on for a long time and Apple hasn't fixed it. I am so sorry I bought a new phone.

It never happened on any iPhone I have owned (and I have owned most models at one time or another) and it never happened with any version of iOS that I have had installed (and I have had all of them). So the only logical conclusion is that it is something that you are doing as you use the phone that is causing it.

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.

I dial 99% of my calls from Recents, almost always hang up first, don't use the side button and have never had this problem.

As I've said before, you don't have a problem with it, but the phone does it.

No, it doesn't, not for me. I'm not telling you that you're imagining your problem. I have no reason to doubt that you are having an issue. Why do you keep insisting that those of us who do not have a problem are somehow confused?
