Pressing the home button does nothing, I assume you think it is hanging up the call because maybe the other party hangs up which usually disconnects the call as well. As for finding the End Call button, I always find it easy to find as well, but at times the screen may lock during a call which means you first have to press the power or home button to wake it up, then check just above the home button and the End Call button will be there. Joe, I suggest you might want to make a few test calls and ask a sighted person to look over your shoulder and, if necessary, direct you. As for the 2-finger double tap I find that as long as I make sure the screen hasn't turned off and I do it very deliverately it works well enough. For Andrew who says he finds it difficult to dial numbers during a call I can only say it is a matter of practice.

Strange.

I brought up this same issue with them with voice over. So, they turned on voice over and were able to replicate the problem I was having. They asked serie to make a call.. They pressed the home button and the call ended. I practiced that same thing using my land line and got the same result. So, I don't even worry about the two finger double tap. Because home always works to end a call. For me. The person turned up their phone so I could hear what it sounded like when the call ends. I don't know how to explain the sound it makes when the call ends but it makes the sound twice. HTH. Connie Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 11, 2017, at 1:39 PM, Andrew J.
