iPhone 14 calling other numbers in my contacts while I’m on another call. Voice control is off.

Why is my iPhone 14 dialing by itself other numbers in my contact list. Voice control is OFF. I have reset the phone. It still occurs when I’m on a call and sometimes puts my active call on Hold to dial another number. Like it’s trying to set up 3-way calling by itself. How do I stop this?

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hello randi_inSeattle,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

 Before updating, we recommend backing up your iPhone first. These articles can be of help. When you back up, you can back up using a Mac or PC rather than iCloud if you choose.

Hello randi_inSeattle,


Your device should dim the screen while you're on a phone call. If your case is interfering with the sensors on your iPhone, it may not do that which could result in unexpected button presses while it's against your face.


If the issue continues after removing your case, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support for more help. Get Support


Thanks.

Well it did it again! I had the case OFF so it is not the case. I was on a call and the phone dialed another number while I was talking. I ended the second call before it went through and my original caller was still there when I went back. The number the phone "auto dialed" was not the last person I called and was not the first name in my contact list. Does not happen while using other Apps, only when I am on the phone on another call. Voice Control is off. IPhone14 IOS 16.6.1
