Why Your Phone Screen Turns Off During Calls: Unveiling The Real Reasons

• Automatic screen turn-off during calls is a design feature, not a fault, aimed at saving battery and enhancing user experience.
• The screen timeout feature automatically turns off the display after a period of inactivity; this setting can be adjusted in your phone's Display or Screen & Brightness settings.
• The proximity sensor, located near the front camera, detects when the phone is brought to your ear during a call, turning off the screen.
• This prevents accidental touches (like muting or disconnecting) and significantly saves battery during calls; the screen reactivates when moved away.
• Malfunctions can occur if the proximity sensor is covered by dirt or a screen protector; cleaning it or removing the obstruction often resolves the issue.
