Accidental calling of favorites on hang up on my iPhone

+1 drives me absolutely insane; I must have at least x3 calls a week explaining I didn't actually call the other person. Surely a 500ms > 1 second disabling of dialling out after a call would fix this. For now I'm going to *try* using the side buttons but its difficult to "switch off" years of muscle memory conditioning.

This has been issue for years now, im running construction business with iphone and most of the time you want to hang up screen changes because other person was quicker so your call screen is overlaying recent calls..

solution is so simple, it would take couple hours for apple to fix and release new update.

when answering or calling, it should keep home screen behind calling screen automatically, or keep calling screen while we hit red button or swipe, dont turn off screen automatically please, causing to accidentally tap whatever us behind the call screen. Call goes thru everytime even from the tap..

Apple this is a terrible answer. I have the same problem. I see the red button and I go to hit hang up and if the person I am talking to hangs up a fraction of a second before I do, I call someone on my favorites list. This is unacceptable, how can I change this from defaulting to my favorites list?

I'm having this problem every day and often multiple times a day. I am not sure when it started, but it seems like it's been sometime in the last few months. This is a serious problem, especially if you have people in your favorites list who are in different time zones. Accidental calls are always a frustration for the person being called, but if my attempt to hang up on a at 7:30 a.m. eastern time results in me accidently calling and waking up someone in California at 4:30 a.m. their time, the ramifications can be much worse than an inconvenience. If the person is in need of rest in order to be sharp for a critical court hearing or meeting that day, I cold have blown it for them and their clients. This is something that needs to be fixed.

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 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.

Having the phone default back to home screen solves this problem. There the answer, Apple needs to do this ASAP. It happens to me all the time, and I end up calling people that are a continent away and sleeping.

The fear of hitting the end button is real. I have myself entered in my favorites list in the position that aligns with the end button. But that only works if your favorites are pulled to the top of the list. The phone automatically goes to the screen you were on, so I accidentally call as many people in my recent list as I do favorites. All my previous phones would revert to the Home Screen and this problem didn’t exist.

Same issue here. The solution should be an option that would require you to swipe your contact (left or right) in order to initiate a call instead of just tapping.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

I have this problem for many years. Not only when someone just ends the call at the moment you want to, but also when the phone screen is left on when you lay down the iphone and next time you pick up the phone, face is recognized, it opens the last screen and your thumb is accidentally touching the screen and dialing.

I believe this should be very easy to solve, either by a confirmation popping up when you touch a recent caller or someone in your phone or favorites list, saying "Confirm you want to call John Doe?" or by limiting the selection area on the screen using a button to call someone, for example:

Maybe both options should then be available, so anyone can select their preference. Just a note: picture is was picked randomly from the internet as an example only. Oh, and I leave the design to Apple...

Ah missed that, thanks. Done!

The more people who submit feedback directly to Apple, the more likely Apple is to take some action. But, remember, they will not reply to you individually.

So painful - please fix.

disable phone screen for half a second after other party ends call…that’s all I need - half a second.

No one reading here can fix it. Be sure to let Apple know your concerns:

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.
