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

Apple this unacceptable if you really worried about your Apple Customers its important to fix this annoying thing immediately this question was posted on Jan 2022 and i am still facing the same issue even now it very frustrating and your so called solution of using the side lock button doesnt help its not a solution that we are ready to change to.

Its a simple solution after the call has ended increase the time of the screen showing the total time spoken that way we need not accidently touch our screens to end the call and dial somebody from the list (Favorites or Recent) .

expecting an early action on this

Meanwhile, you can end the call without calling anyone else by using the powerbutton.

There’s nobody listening to us. This problem did not exist several updates back. We wait till Apple has enough complaints to recognize this problem. How did this get through a Beta test?

Have you actually told Apple about your issue? This is a user-to-user forum. If you want Apple to know your issues, either contact support and tell them or use the feedback page:

This is AWFUL, it needs fixing ASAP!!!
I can’t believe that this is ok with anyone. Please do something about this problem. I’ve never considered switching from my iPhone but this is so irritating, I’m considering it.

Have you given your feedback to Apple? They are the only ones who can "do something". The more people who submit feedback, the more likely it is that something will change.

Using iPhone 14 in August 2023…still with the stupid calling of random people when ending a call and the other person ends the call first. Any fixes coming?

For those who take the time to post here and hit the ME TOO button, keep doing what you’re doing because the more Apple will listen eventually if there’s enough chatter on one subject.

I respectfully disagree.


First of all, customers 'should' come here first, before filing a suggestion or bug report. Because often, the answer is simple (e.g. there is a setting that resolves the issue). We probably agree on that.


But It gets down to the amount of work a customer is willing to do, weighed against the likelihood of resolving his issue anytime soon. By the time the customer is done reading dozens of suggestions from both novice and experts, none of which resolve the issue, he's probably exhausted as much effort as he is going to put into this issue. He clicks the ME TOO button, noting that there are hundreds of users that came here with the same problem, and he believes there are probably 1000-times that number that didn't bother to come here -- all having the same problem. There's some comfort there!


Apple is way to smart to ignore threads where the ME TOO button is clicked hundreds of times. If they ignored this, they'd be ignoring a resource they created. I don't think they are that ignorant. They may tell people to "file a suggestion", but if they'd be crazy to ignore the high ME TOO threads here.

I respectfully disagree.

You may certainly do that. However, I'm not stating an opinion but rather a fact as told to me by Apple employees.


There are occasions when there is a particular issue that a specific group at Apple is looking into, that they will search the forums for examples of the issue and even reach out to users. But, no, there is no group of people who are reading through the forums and documenting suggestions and feedback. They simply don't have time.


And, in the time it took you to compose this post, you could have submitted feedback to Apple.

Yes, that is the purpose of the forum: for users to provide answers to other users.

There needs to be a simple 1 second wait time before another call can be placed. Or even more simple, make the screen inert for 1 second after a call ends/drops. This is a serious issue that needs to be fixed. We don’t always talk with the phone to our ear. I work on nighttime emergency response and on DOZENS of occasions I have woken people up who desperately needed that sleep. PLEASE SEND THIS UP THE LADDER

Meanwhile, don't be in such a hurry to end the call. Wait a second to see if the other person has ended the call. Or, use the side button.

It’s frustrating and disappointing that Apple hasn’t addressed a basic problem they created. Activating a double-tap feature in the “fav” or “recent call” list could easily resolve this issue. It’s disheartening that such a simple programming fix is overlooked while Apple focuses on newer versions and software updates.

Please fix this. Multiple times every week I am calling people by accident after hanging up. Either take the phone back to the Home Screen after a call ends, or add a delay after a call is finished. This is incredibly frustrating and seems so simple to fix.
