Hey there Screenlockincall,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, do you use Face ID or a passcode to unlock your iPhone? If using Face ID, does the passcode screen appear after a few seconds allowing you to enter your passcode and unlock your device? If not using Face ID, are you able to bring up the passcode screen with the steps below:
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the Lock Screen (on an iPhone with Face ID) or press the Home button (on other iPhone models).
2. Enter the passcode.
Let's also check if you have Attention Aware features enabled that may be causing this result. To test, try tapping Settings > Face ID & Passcode, and then turn Attention Aware features off. For more information check out this resource here: About Attention Aware features on your iPhone X or iPad Pro
Keep us updated on what you find.
Take care!
Hi Screenlockincall,
Since the display is staying black, it sounds like there's an issue with the proximity sensor. Reach out to Apple Support directly for assistance:

Kind regards.
I implemented the feedback I received from Chris_V89, but still have the same issue. During a call, the screen goes black, it will not “wake up”, and I cannot interact with the call at all. I cannot hang up to end the call or utilize any other features. My daughter has a 10 minute voice mail from me of basically nothing, as I couldn’t access the screen to hang up the call.
I will do that!! Thank you so much!!
Screenlockincall,
You're very welcome. Stay safe and well.
Have a wonderful day!
