    Woke up this morning to a txt message asking if id been trying to call that same person. Told them i'd been asleep the hold time and they insisted they had missed calls from me. Checked my call log for them and sure enough:

    Was the screen replaced or is it damaged? Loose or missing screws cause havoc.

    I’m just stabbing in the dark but:

    If your Apple ID is being used on another device, like an iPad, Mac or old iPhone, it’s possible the calls were made from there and not from your phone.

    Have you any other Bluetooth devices that might be trying to pair with the phone? Like headphones or headsets?

    Was Hey Siri enabled? Had you a radio or something playing that might have activated it?

    Could also be a touch screen problem on either the phone or watch.

    Ive had this phone since the 6 plus was released, only other device I own is the watch which was only a recent purchase. Don't own any other devices that I could sign into

    Have a bluetooth speaker which is registered to the phone, but wasn't connected at the time. A bluetooth device was the first thing I thought of but even if it was, I cant see how it would initiate a call.
    Was Hey Siri enabled? Had you a radio or something playing that might have activated it?
    Yes Hey Siri is enabled, I didnt have anything on though or leave anything on overnight.
    Could also be a touch screen problem on either the phone or watch.
    Possibly yes, phone is in good condition though with all original parts, and the watch is a series 2 only purchased recently. I'm honestly stumped :confused:

    Hi, nothing's wrong with your phone.
    My Mam, and girlfriend have the same problems with their 6S and 7.

    It's a mixture of Siri and voice control.

    I turned off voice control on my GF's phone and it fixed the problem. I've to do the same with my mams today.

    I've been having the same problem, wake up in morning with missed calls and made calls showing.

    Checked my phone, and calls that i had NOT made were appearing on it, noticed that they were calls that my son had made from his phone last night...


    Checked his phone and some of my calls were on his phone, he was logged into my apple account, and using an old phone of mine, can only be this reason...
