Since iOS 14, the incoming phone calls show as a small banner across the top of the screen when your iPhone is in use. As a result, your ongoing usage is not interrupted all of a sudden. However, in the earlier versions of iOS, the incoming calls would take up the full screen. Though the full-screen incoming call notification halts your usage, it ensures you do not miss an inbound call. Luckily, there is a quick way to make incoming iPhone calls show as a full screen again. Here is how it works:

Step 2. Scroll down and choose Phone.
Step 3. Under the Allow Phone to Access section, tap Incoming Calls.
Step 4. Finally, choose Full Screen.
That’s pretty much done! Now, quit the Settings app. From now onwards, your incoming phone calls show as a full screen again.
