    Pocket dialing is something that happens in almost every phone, however, it is most common in Huawei as a lot of Huawei users complain of this. But then, in this article on how to stop pocket dialing on Huawei and other phones, we will be listing out some of the best ways to actually stop pocket dialing.

    Your phone could probably be sailing itself while in your pocket which is why you are probably here. They are various reasons why you should try to put an end to pocket failing, one of which is that it could eventually fail a call without you noticing and you would be burning airtime without your notice.

    I have also experienced a case where my phone pocket dialed, wrote some characters, and sent on a WhatsApp group, everyone was surprised that i would send a meaningless text, and i had to explain that the text came from my pocket dialing. You won't want to be in the same situation which is why we have written this article to guide you through.

    How to Stop Pocket Dialing on Huawei and Other Phones

    Below are the 3 best ways to stop pocket dialing on Huawei and other phones

    - Lock Your Phone to Prevent Pocket Dialing

    Never put your phone in your pocket or bag without turning off the screen by hitting the power button first. Having a smartphone is convenient, but developing this practice can keep you out of a lot of awkward situations. Fortunately, auto-lock features on iPhones and Android phones turn off your screen for you.

    iPhones automatically lock the smartphone and dim the screen after 30 seconds of inactivity. For Android phones, there is a 15-second option available.

    If you want to avoid the embarrassment of pocket-dialing, even if it could seem like a lot of work, especially if you use your phone regularly, you might want to think about adjusting the time setting to make it work for you.

    Here's how to change the auto-lock setting on your phone:

    1. Open the Display/Display & Brightness menu in Settings.
    2. Choose Sleep or Auto-Lock. Display pause (may vary from one phone to another).
    3. Choose the duration that feels most comfortable for you (the shorter, the better).

    Make use of a security lock.

    There should be a security lock on your phone. Consider acquiring one if you don't currently have one. If you don't use a security lock on your phone, your privacy could be violated and you could become vulnerable.

    It also increases the likelihood that your phone will unlock while in your pocket. By requiring a passcode, fingerprint or facial recognition to unlock, or both, pocket dialing is rendered impossible.

    It's essential to lock your phone before putting it in your pocket for this to function for you. If not, your efforts to stop pocket dialing will be ineffective.

    Enabling your phone's passcode, face, or fingerprint recognition:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Pick the lock screen and security options Touch ID & Passcode/Face ID & Passcode/Security.
    3. If you already have a passcode, you will be asked to input it.
    4. Set your phone to require a passcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition in order to unlock it.

    Don't use Siri or Google Assistant when your phone is locked.

    The occasional pocket-dial is probably due to your digital assistant, whether it's Siri or Google Assistant. If your phone is set to constantly listen for "Hey, Siri" or "OK, Google," your chances of ceasing pocket dialing are at an all-time low. All Siri needs to begin dialing is one trigger word or button click.

    Observe these procedures if you want Siri to only respond while your iPhone is unlocked:

    1. Start the settings.
    2. Use Siri & Search, if you so choose.
    3. Turn off the switch next to "Hey Siri" listening.
    4. The toggle is next to Allow Siri When Locked should be turned off.

    Follow these instructions to make Google Assistant only reply when your Android phone is unlocked.

    1. Make Google Assistant active.
    2. In the lower-left corner, you can see the inbox icon. The settings for the Assistant are shown here.
    3. Select your profile photo from the menu on the top right.
    4. Select Assistant from the drop-down menu at the top.
    5. Scroll down to the Assistant devices section and choose Phone.
    6. Voice Match should also be off next to Access.
    7. Next to the Lock screen personal results, turn it off.

    You can take it a step further and make sure that an Android device's on-body detection is disabled. Your phone will remain unlocked while in your possession thanks to on-body detection. Pocket dialing is hence feasible.

    1. Open Settings. stop pocket dialing
    2. Select Security > Smart lockstep pocket dialing
    3. Enter your passcode. stop pocket dialing
    4. Select On-body detection. stop pocket dialing
    5. Turn the toggle off.

    Conclusion

    Pocketing dialing mostly happens if you either don't have a passcode that locks your phone anytime it isn't in use or if you forget to lock your phone before putting it in your pocket.

    This is why we advise that you always lock your phone before putting it in your pocket and make sure it has a security lock so it doesn't unlock itself and start dialing while in your pocket.
