How to Prevent Accidental ‘Butt-Dialing’ in Android


How many times have you finished a phone call, gone about your business, then found your Android phone on the screen it displays when you’re on a call? I know it’s happened to me countless times. The call log is left on the screen and I always accidentally tap a name when I put my phone down after a call.

Here are some options to prevent accidental “butt-dialing” on your Android phone.


Option 1 – Go Home After a Call

Get into the habit of pressing the “Home” button whenever you finish a phone call. This will reduce the chance of accidentally pressing a recent call from your call log.


Option 2 – Use a Call Confirm App

Download and install an app like the Call Confirm. Call Confirm will throw a dialog on the screen that asks “Do you really want to call?” before it actually calls a person. It’s a much needed additional layer of protection.
