How to Stop Phone Calling Itself Bluetooth on iPhone?
If you are an iPhone user and use a Bluetooth device, then you have probably faced that your device calls at the tap of a button. At the same time, few Bluetooth devices contain a dedicated call button, which initiates a phone call to the last person whom you called from your contact list. However, it’s possible that someone is messing with your Bluetooth device, or you have a faulty Bluetooth device, which makes random calls and to itself as well.
Now, each time this issue occurs, make sure to notice is your Bluetooth device connected or not. If it does, then you have to disconnect the Bluetooth device and check again if the issue occurs again or not. You can turn off your iPhone’s Bluetooth temporarily to solve the problem. You can do that by opening the device’s Control Center, and if you see the Bluetooth icon is blue, just click on the icon and turn it off. With these steps, you can disable Bluetooth from your iPhone:
Step-1: You need to launch your device’s Settings menu.
Step-2: Press on the Bluetooth option.
Step-3: You will see a green button where you need to tap to toggle the Bluetooth off.

What Could Be the Other Reasons for Phone Calling Itself?
These followings could be the reasons that your phone is calling itself:
Spam Caller
The problem could be a spammer or telemarketer is spoofing the caller ID. That’s why your phone is showing you’re your own number instead of the spammer or telemarketer because they hide their number.
Now, they use your own number, that is because they have to hide their number and obviously, you won’t pick up the phone if you see “Unknown” or “Private Number.” On the other hand, if it says Telemarketing, Inc., then you won’t even pick as well.
Additionally, their phone number might be blocked by you, but you haven’t blocked your own number. So, it’s a smart way to get around that roadblock.
In the meantime, you probably also have seen phone numbers calling you that are quite similar to yours, and it might be different in one or two digits. It is also another method of spoofing.

Bug
Like I said before, there are many ways that your phone is calling itself. Well, a bug on your phone’s software also could be responsible for this issue. Let me share an incident with you all: One day, I was talking with a friend on a phone call. At that time, someone else called me. What my phone did instead of switching the new call and putting the current call on hold, it ended the call, and then called itself.
As far as I know, it is because the software on the phone has a bug that is why this issue occurs. So, you need to fix that bug to solve this problem.
