iPhone 14 pro proximity sensor not functioning well in whatsapp and 3rd party apps

Hi hammadyousef,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We would like to clarify, by Voice Notes, are you referring to the Voice Memos app? If so, we recommend that you reach out to Apple Support directly to take a further look. Please reach out here:

If this is however only occurring with third party apps, we would suggest the steps below that may also help:

If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

1. Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

2. Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

4. Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

I’m happy to see someone that has this problem. I contacted the Apple support and they told me that “it is normal”.

Guys it is not normal.. it is not normal that the touchscreen stays on while my phone is touching my face while I’m hearing a voice notes, this problem happens with WA and Telegram.

This problem does not happens with the phone calls, so the proximity sensor works fun just iOS is a mess.
