Is there a way to change the Iphone 7 so that when I am scrolling through Recent Calls that I dont make a phone call when my fat thumb bumps the screen when scrolling?

I would be nice if when on the Recent Call page that you could change it so that you have to double tap or hold down on the caller you want to call.
I decreased the sensitivity but I have a Lifeproof cover over it and changing the sensitivity doesn't change its sensitivity. Any option other than cutting off my thumb?

I use one of these instead of my fingers. Also keeps your iPhone screen clean - no fat finger prints. ;)

LOL. I buy them 3 or 4 at a time at a local discount store. My wife goes through several of them every month or so.

May I add a +1 for Admin chscag's recommendation.

I got one for Christmas (the one shown on the Amazon UK site).

Terrific. For me the biggest bonus is when putting in my lengthy/complex passwords where it is so easy to mis-hit a key or the one next to the intended - and I have slim fingers.

I don't lose it , Sue, because I keep it home by my desk which is only place I would normally input PWs. Too risky in public places.
