iPhone pocket dialing

Post by mik »

Used to happen with my XR, and now happening with my 14, so it must be something I am doing, or a setting I have on.

After use I always manually lock my phone (by pressing the side button) and place it in my pocket. Occasionally I then pocket dial someone, but only those on my favourites list (STD clinic, the leader of the local Bridge club, Alcoholics Anonymous etc).

Under "settings > face ID & passcode > allow access when locked" I have "return missed calls" switched to off (it was on upto approx one month ago, and I thought that might be what was happening, but non - it still happens sporadically).

What (dafuq) am I doing? :?

Don't know, but if you find out do share - my stepdaughter and father both seem to do this regularly.

Have you got anything set on BT which keeps the phone unlocked?

My phone stays unlocked while in the car, as I've set this up while connected to the BT there. You've not got anything similar?

Good idea, but nope. Even in the car the phone locks whilst in the cradle (unless a I am running Waze or Car Scanner)

Although I'm not sure why I'm helping. Never had a call, therefore not in your favourites.
