This setting is causing the phone problem

Fortunately, this setting is easy to adjust, so that you can only hang up the call by tapping the screen. To adjust the function of the side button during a phone call:
- Go to Settings’;
- Choose ‘Accessibility’;
- Tap on ‘Touch’;
- Scroll all the way down;
- Disable ‘Prevent lock to stop broadcasting’.
Now that you have disabled this feature, it is no longer possible to accidentally end your phone call on your iPhone with your side button.
