IOS 14: call controls not displayed in lock screen

iosiphone

Seems like I’m missing something obvious but can’t seem to find an answer.

Before upgrading to iOS 14, 3rd party apps like Teams would show call controls like mute, hang up etc, on the Lock Screen, while in a call. Now it seems the best I can do is click the green bar, unlock the phone, find the call controls I want inside the app somewhere.

I’ve tried changing the Incoming Calls setting to full screen, swiping every which way on the Lock Screen, no luck.

It looks like people have asked similar questions in the past when the call controls screen behavior changed in previous iOS releases…

I found perfectly working WORKAROUND:

During Microsoft Teams meeting, just go to home screen, start dialing any number via built-in Phone app and stop even after 1 second. Your Teams meeting won't dissconnect, it will just pause. After that, when You go back to Teams and lock the screen, call controls will appear every time! Simple as that!!!

Of course You have to repeat those steps on every new Teams meeting. I hope you find this guide useful.
