Accidental calling of favorites on hang up on my iPhone

For the last year or so, I've had a problem where I go to end a call which is over by clicking end call, but the other person hangs up first, and the screen change back to the "favorites" or "Recent calls" list, causing me to initiate a call with whoever was below the end call button. I have an iPhone 11, and this never happened with my previous iPhones. It seems something must have changed around that time.


Any advice on how to prevent this from happening? The person who is 8th on my favorites list is getting kind of annoyed.

PLEASE FIX THIS....It happens multiple time's per week...you go to hit the end call button but the screen disappears at the same time bc the other person hung up faster...you then click one of your favorites by accident...When a call ends, it should close out the phone app all together and you should be looking at your home screen after a call...PLEASE FIX THIS

This is a great work around but I'm having an issue. When I place a call with this automation active it switches to the Home Screen when the call control screen takes over. The call control screen seems to be separate from the Phone app so even though the Phone app is still open it activates the short cut so if I want to activate speaker mode I have to switch back to the call control screen. Is this the behavior you see normally or did I miss something? iOS 17.4.1. Thank you for the Short Cut

This is an obnoxious problem to continue to ignore. I agree with pcastagna16, an easy fix! Update immediately. It is embarrassing to I-phone users. It adds stress to what should be a simple act of hanging up. Your answer of clicking the side button instead is horrible.

It is getting unbearable. I've had to take important contacts out of Favorites because of this problem. Really upset's my manager when I'm on the road talking to my wife at 11pm then he gets a butt dial from me after I hang up with her.


I was hoping one of the recent updates would fix this but nope... Just called my manager again this morning!

This happens to me on a daily basis. Very frustrating when you quickly try to hang up before the call goes through (which it always does) then people of course call you back. Having to explain I called on accident 5x a day is extremely annoying. Apple, please fix this!!
