How do I stop the iPhone from turning on in my pocket?

Using iPhone15ProMax. I turn the screen off using the right side button. After I put it in my pocket, it will turn back on and go into some app. Changes often. May be camera, may be notes, may be News, random. Is there a way to truly lock the screen so that you have to use a button to reactivate?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
