iPhone 16 Pro Max screen lighting up issue on incoming calls I am experiencing a recurring issue on my iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 18.2.1 where the screen remains dark and does not light up during incoming calls. This issue occurs intermittently, and while it does not happen with every call, it happens frequently. with every 2nd or 3ed call. i have checked the sensor. When the phone receives a call, the screen remains black, and I am unable to see the caller’s information or answer the call by tapping on the screen. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

When on an iPhone call, the red button to hang up disappears When on a call, the call screen, if that's what you call it, where there is the red button to hang up, suddenly disappears. How do you get back there? Not talking about opening an app or black screen from the sensor. [Edited by Moderator]

Hello,

See this:

"The sensor is small, and dust accumulated over time might be one of the reasons for the proximity sensor malfunction. Use a clean cloth, preferably a microfiber cloth, and clean the display, especially near the front camera area, where the proximity sensor lies."
