How do I hang up a call with iPhone 6 and iOS 9.0.1?

I feel so stupid. I've had an iPhone since 2012 with the iPhone 5, but after upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 9 (and now 9.0.1) last week, I cannot figure out how to hang up a call without logging in.

When i was done with the call, I used to just turn the screen on and hit the red button. Now, turning on the phone just gets me to the login screen where I have to swipe or put in my PIN, then make sure the phone app is launched and hang up then.

Surely there is an easier way to hang up calls.

Hi everyone who is absolutely crazy over this issue...

I often times make calls using Hey Siri... other times for whatever reason the phone is locked when the call is going, the only thing on the lock screen is the number or name of the person I am talking to!!! FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!

so just found the answer, TAP the number or name will bring up the call function screen.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

I found the answer here...

It turns out, you just need to tap the phone number or contact name displayed on the lock screen, and you will get the call controls. This makes sense, in hindsight, as the swipe right now has a new behavior, but it wasn't obvious to me either.

iphone - Where did the button to hang up the phone from the lock screen go on iOS 10 - Ask Different

so happy to find the solution been driving me crazy

I don't use headphones so don't know how it behaves when the user does. And the OP did not mention that he does either.

I know that this answer is years off, but I believe you have to tap the "contact photo" and the hang up option should appear. Not sure why they would hide the button to begin with.

You are assuming that most phones do this, they don't, yours does.

I have the exact same problem, VERY frustrating!

Tap the power button 2x. This disconnects the call on 5S and SE too.

I am an iphone user since 2008 and this method worked fine so far. but tried this on 7 and at all different speeds of 2x. It has not helped.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. PRESSING THE SLEEP/WAKE/POWER BUTTON DOES NOT WORK ON THE IPHONE 5. PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS. ADD THE END CALL BUTTON BACK.

Because that was up to the OP. They mark it and once it is marked, it cannot be changed.
