By tapping the power button or rejecting an incoming call, users of the Apple iPhone running the iOS operating system can end an ongoing phone call.
Despite the fact that the feature is highly helpful, many users find it frustrating because they may have mistakenly ended numerous phone calls by clicking the power button or by attempting to lock the screen.
If you’re one of those people, we have a solution for you that will let you adjust the settings so that phone calls continue to be active even when the smartphone’s power button is pressed.
On your Apple iPhone running the recently released iOS 16 operating system, we’ll show you step-by-step how to disable the power button call ending option or enable the “Prevent Lock To End Call” feature.
How to disable Power Button Call Ending on Apple iPhone
Step 1: Open the Settings application on your Apple iPhone.
Step 2: When the app opens, tap on the “Accessibility” option.
Step 3: In the Accessibility settings page, tap on the “Touch” option from the list.
Step 4: On the Touch settings page, scroll down and toggle switch ON for the “Prevent Lock to End Call” option.
That’s all there is to it. Pressing the power button or locking the iPhone won’t end the active call once you’ve activated the Prevent Lock to End Call feature on your smartphone by following the above-mentioned step-by-step instructions. Additionally, you won’t be able to reject an incoming call by pushing the power button as a result.
