My phone is calling people without my knowledge

Please keep the iPhone screen locked when not in use.

1. If Voice Control is turned on, your iPhone may dial a number accidentally if you say a number that is similar to a contact's name. To turn off Voice Control, go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control and toggle the switch to the off position.
2. If your iPhone is connected to a car stereo via Bluetooth, the stereo may be programmed to automatically dial the last number that was called on certain conditions. To check this, consult your car stereo's manual.
3. Some cars or car accessories come equipped with motion or proximity sensors that can trigger certain actions, including automatic dialing from the recent call list when your iPhone connects to the car's Bluetooth system. Here's how it might work:
   1. Motion detection: Some cars have motion sensors that detect when the car is in motion. When the sensor detects movement (e.g., when you start driving), it can trigger specific functions or actions in the car's infotainment system, including initiating a call from your iPhone's recent call list.
   2. Proximity detection: Additionally, some cars have proximity sensors that can detect when your iPhone is in close proximity to the car's Bluetooth system. When your iPhone comes within range of the car's Bluetooth signal, the car's system might automatically establish a connection and perform preconfigured actions like redialing the last number.

To disable this feature or adjust its settings, you may need to explore the car's infotainment system settings or consult the car's user manual to find information about controlling automatic dialing or other features related to Bluetooth connections.

It's worth noting that the presence and functionality of these sensors can vary depending on the car's make, model, and year of manufacture. Also, the way they interact with your iPhone and its settings may vary. If you're unsure about how to manage these settings, it's a good idea to check the car's manual or consult with the car manufacturer or dealership for specific guidance.

There are two steps to do that.

1. Check your iPhone display before you put it aside or in the pocket. iPhone disaplay will turn off only after your Auto-Lock time settings.
2. If the display is ON, lock the screen using the side button and check your iPhone display before you put it in the pocket
