Many iPhone users globally have been facing the issue where they accidentally press the power button and it ends the call. To help deal with this issue, Apple has released an iOS update where the users can quickly turn the “power button ends call” feature on their device off for good.
You’ll need to ensure that your iPhone has the newest iteration of iOS 16 in which Apple has pushed this new feature. If you don’t, you won’t be able to find the setting needed to fix the power button ending calls on your iPhone. In this guide, you’ll get to know how you can enable and disable the power button ends call on your iPhone.
How to enable or disable Power Button Ends Call
- Unlock your device and ensure that you’re on the home screen
- Now, swipe left until you’ve opened the App Library, and then tap on the Settings icon for opening it
- Once you’ve opened the Settings page, scroll down until you can see the Accessibility option
- Now, tap on Accessibility
- On the Accessibility page, you should tap “Touch” to open the Touch settings
- Scroll down the Touch settings screen until you’ve come across “Prevent Lock to End Call” and then toggle it on
