iPhone Proximity Sensor not working properly in iOS 18.2

My iPhone 11 Pro’s proximity sensor is not working properly at time to time. When I answer a call, the screen goes black as the sensor is activated, but it sometimes stays black. This issue occurs intermittently, making it difficult to track. Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 11 - Proximity Sensor after lock and unlock (17.1.1) When I unlock phone and call somebody and then touch on proximity censor or place the phone to my ear, screen goes black normally but won't turn on & screen remain black. I can't press end call. But if I DON'T LOCK the phone and call people again everything works great, like no delay, no problems with proximity sensor. But.. when I lock phone, unlock again and call, same problem. Proximity Sensor does not work or delay is like 3-5 sec. Yes, I have full screen protector but proximity sensor works great if I don't lock the phone before calling somebody.

Try to press power button 2 times when issue is coming.
