How do I disable my proximity sensor on Android 9?

I searched for this on the net but didnt really find a helpful guide.
P.S.: I dont have that switch in 'call settings'.

This is not always possible -- it depends on the device. Which phone do you have?

Samsung A10

Hi, welcome!
You can check in settings of the phone app but i think they took this feature awhile ago

I am very sure that I said "P.S.: I dont have that switch in 'call settings'."

Can't find it anywhere on Pie either.
Probably could disable the android apk that runs it with a package disabler. No clue which one it is though.

Oh yeah missed that, then you definitely can't disable it .

Try Playstore there are proximity apps but not sure if any will disable it.
With Macrodriod you can probably program macro to do it.
Fun to play with however needs administrative privileges.
