Looks I was able to fix the problem. This is how: 1) since a third party app was the problem I looked through the apps that had permission to my "phone" and my "microphone" since that was where the problem was 2) I started denying permission to apps and then calling to see if the app I turned off was the problem. When it wasn't I repeated the same process with other apps. 3) Once I found out what app was causing the problem I made sure that I denied permission for that app to the phone. For me this app was TouchPal. Thanks for your help! ππΎ

May I ask which phone you have? Let's start with the model number and we'll go from there.

Okay, this very well could be caused by a third party app without you even knowing it. Let's have you put your phone into Safe Mode to rule that out, and test to see if it happens again should you answer a call.
To put your phone into Safe Mode, you can check out the guide I wrote up, which makes it super simple to do - S8 Specific | How To: Safe Mode, Reset Settings, and Cache Wipe

Yeah so I put it into safe mode and the problem was fixed. How do I know what app is causing it and how do I make a permanent fix in regular mode?

Galaxy S PhonesHad the same issue.
After debugging I found that Microsoft Teams causing it. After I uninstalled it, the issue was fixed.
If that's the same for you - please upvote this bug in MS Teams forum
