iPhone Proximity Sensor not working properly in iOS 18.2 My iPhone 11 Pro’s proximity sensor is not working properly at time to time. When I answer a call, the screen goes black as the sensor is activated, but it sometimes stays black. This issue occurs intermittently, making it difficult to track. Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 11 - Proximity Sensor after lock and unlock (17.1.1) When I unlock phone and call somebody and then touch on proximity censor or place the phone to my ear, screen goes black normally but won't turn on & screen remain black. I can't press end call. But if I DON'T LOCK the phone and call people again everything works great, like no delay, no problems with proximity sensor. But.. when I lock phone, unlock again and call, same problem. Proximity Sensor does not work or delay is like 3-5 sec. Yes, I have full screen protector but proximity sensor works great if I don't lock the phone before calling somebody.

Proximity sensor iPhone 14 Pro Max Have an issue with proximity sensor. When I receive a call and see the slide to answer there is lock icon in dynamic island. I put it in my ear and screen goes off (correct) but when I move it away from my ear (to see the screen), the screen has a delay to show for 2 seconds. If I unlock the phone the delay goes away! Of course everything works ok when I call someone (because the phone it's already unlocked). Proximity sensor works great then. So what I mean is that proximity sensor is slow to lighten screen when the phone is locked. With my previous iPhone 13 Pro everything is ok. Any thoughts?
