iPhone 15, iOS 17
I have had this as an intermittent problem on my iPhone 13 mini, despite always updating to the latest version of IOS. My local Apple store replaced the display to no avail, and did various other diagnostic tests which revealed nothing. At their recommendation I reset all settings on the phone, but this did nothing and was a total pain to boot. The only other thing they could suggest was a full factory reset, and I wasn't prepared to go through that.
I did find that doing a forced restart cleared the problem for a while, but within a couple of weeks the slide-to-answer would start to get unreliable again. (I also found that doing a normal restart didn't work as well). So now I just do a forced restart once a week; that has so far kept me free of the problem for nearly six months, and hopefully it will continue to do so.
I daresay Apple will eventually address this problem, but until then I can live with this work-around.
I’ve had the same issue on my iPhone 15. It seems to happen when I have the phone in my pocket and someone tries to call me. It doesn’t happen if my phone is sitting out.
It's been happening to me (15PM) for a while. I removed my screen protector thinking that was the problem, but it persists.
Brand new iPhone pro max 15 on screen slider freezes so I cannot answer some calls.
Still happening to me even after iOS 18 update
Very, very sad that it is still not fixed in iOS18 :-(((
I cannot understand why it is so difficult to fix such a basic and for many people most important functionality…
it is also in ios 18
Maybe this works on the iPhone 15, but on my iPhone 13 the whole lock screen is totally frozen, can't do anything except wait for the phone to stop ringing. Totally exasperating.
I have the same issue! Ive tried everything that has been said to try! I have also waited for important calls and couldn’t answer!!!
It is happening for my device as well. I’m using 15plus, ios 18.0.1
Same issue for me!!! Terrible!!
iOS 18.1.
…. still the same problem :-(((
today 3 calls with this problem!!
Even the workaround with face id did not work, the touch was totally frozen during the ringing
Slide to answer not working on iPhone
