Hey everyone, my brand new iPhone X doesn't turn off the screen when I put the phone up to my ear. At first I thought it was the case, the problem exists with or without the case. I thought there was an option for the proximity sensor but there is not one in the settings that I can find. Before I head to the genius bar, I was wondering if anyone has a solution.

Try a hard reset:

Press and release volume up button
Press and release volume down button
Press and hold side button until screen turns black and Apple logo pops up, then release
