My phone locks out during calls and I can't access the screen until the call has ended, Why?

I

iMore Question

During a call when I take my face away from the screen, the screen locks out. When I hit the home button the call screen shows for a second and then goes back to being locked where nothing is being shown. This does not allow me to use the speaker, keypads, or hang up a call. This started after the most recent update IOS 9.1. Any Suggestions?

Welcome to iMore! This issue comes up from time to time but we have never been able to find a solution aside from erasing your iPhone and setting it up as a new device. If I find anything I'll let you know.

You could try a hard reset (old style)
Hold the top or side power/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release.

If that doesn't work, I would contact Apple Support.
