How do you turn off shake to week? My phone has been calling people and turning on apps during the middle of concerts. I have an iPhone 6.

Shake to wake, not weak.

My phone keeps calling people and noisy applications come on in the car and in concerts when I didn’t want them. The phine was sitting in my pocket. Must I get a new phone to fix this or is there a setting to change? I don’t see anything relevant in display and brightness. I have an iPhone 6. Thank you for your help.

There is no such thing as shake to wake. There is no reason for it to get turned on, and much less getting unlocked to be able to do random things unless you have no screen unlock passcode on it.


There is Raise to Wake, which may be getting activated. Settings->Display&Brightness->Raise to Wake. But that would still require you to unlock the iPhone via a password or touch ID before it could do anything if it has passcode.


Otherwise, always make sure you are pressing the side button to turn it off / lock it before putting it in your pocket.
