Proximity sensor not working 11.1.1

Does anyone else have issues with the proximity sensor not turning off phone screen when you have the phone to your ear? I noticed it today and the 11.1.1 update posted on my phone last night

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.1

the screen is the original and the case only covers the back and sides. the top brow is clear of any case


I was on the speaker phone when I got your reply. Just ended my call and tried a restart. That may have fixed, BUT

the first digit i diaked when I did a test call stuck . long press like i never let my finger up on the first digit keyboard

locked. Pressed the side button to turn the screen off, tone continued but stopped when I powered the screen back on


Screen does turn off when phone is to my ear. So thanks for that, but the keypad thing was weird.
