Despite this feature in IOS16, I am not able to end calls by pressing the side button. The side button only locks the phone during the call, whether the call is on speaker or earpiece. Any help in this regard would be great! I have ensured that the option to prevent lock to end call is off, and have rebooted the device as well.

I Think There's A Bug With This Feature
I can't get this feature to work when the phone is up to my ear. It also won't work if the phone is on speaker. The only way I could get it to work was to take the phone from my ear and let it switch to speaker. I then had to hide the keypad and deselect speaker with VoiceOver. After the phone was off of speaker, I could end the call with the side button. I have reported this behaviour to Apple.
it's happans to me too
Hi it's happns to me to with ios 16, I am using an iPhone 13 pro.
I had try to reboot my phone, turn the setting on and off, but with no success.
not working here also
I have 12 mini, and it is not working as will
Not working here either
I haven't yet reported it to Apple but will do so today.
Hold down the side button and say hang up
Try holding down the side button and saying, "hang up", assuming you have activated the siri side button feature.
it doesn't works with Siri too
Hi again, I didn't succeed to hanging up the call with Siri.
I told her "hang up the call" and Siri doesn't do anything.
I can't get Siri to hang up the call either.
I don't see the point of holding down the side button to get Siri to hang up. That's not what it says, it's supposed to work with Hey Siri, and you never need the side button for that.
Using Hey Siri To Hang Up Only Works On The 11 Or Later
The subject line says it all. You need an 11 or
later in order to hang up using hey siri.
I have a 13 mini.
therefore, it should work.
A Couple Of Things To Try
Yes, it should definitely work on that device. Did you turn the feature on under siri and search settings? If so, the only other thing I can think of is to turn it on and off again. You could also try resetting hey siri and see if that helps. It's working on my 12 Pro
It is on by default
I think it is all ready on, we can tern it off or not, am i wrong?
It is on by default, but it…
It is on by default, but it doesn't seem to work, not on my iPhone 12 at least.
Off by default, which means the button should end calls
The option is to prevent lock button to end calls, which means one should be able to end calls by pressing the side button. It is off by default. But pressing the button nothing happens. IF it works as expected, then users who won't want the button to end calls may turn the option on.
Thanks. It was set correctly.
I'll try your suggestions. Hey Siri works properly otherwise.
Will screen lock affect this feature?
I am often on the phone for quite a long time, and usually I lock my screen but sometimes forget, and then my screen lock does it for me. My guess is that it probably does affect it and I turned the setting off, but just wanted to be sure, and I'll admit, I'm not sure I want to find out the hard way. :)
side button to end call.
hi,
no matter what i do, despite what people have said above, it still does not work.
i will start from the beginning.
ios 18.1 installed. iphone 11. using voice over.
under accessibility, touch:
"prevent lock from to end call" is off.
under accessibility, side button:
press and hold to speak" classic.
i can set this to siri or off, but still nothing works.
any ideas?
i know this topic is old, but surely it works now at this stage.
what am i doing wrong please?
regards,
patrick
Hanging up a call.
Another way to end a call is to just double-tap with two fingers on the phone.
