Is the caller photo just small or the whole call notification itself?
Where do you see the slider to answer the call (since that's what would be present when the device is locked)?

I’m pretty sure cc999 doesn’t understand what it means when “incoming call takes up the whole lock screen.”
He/she/they think it’s about the contact photo size.

Takes up the whole screen when locked. I doubt they would change that - what would be the point?
Prior to iOS 14 the contact photo would take up the whole screen yes.
But if it is now being said the photo itself is minimized somehow I would welcome that because I have always found the whole screen splash a bit jarring.
Incoming calls on a locked device take up the entire screen. That is a fact. There is no reason to do otherwise, since the device isn’t being used.
And there's got to be room for the slider to answer the call (since it can't just be a button like when the phone is unlocked), which means it wouldn't really fit in a banner notification.

Even prior to iOS 14 contact photos could be displayed differently on the call screen depending on the kind of photos they are and how they were added to the contact.
Tried from display off, lock screen locked, and lock screen unlocked. It takes up the whole display.
I don't have the beta installed. Can someone explain how this is a bad thing? So what if it takes up the whole screen?
I do not have the beta either.
I wanted to find out if there has been any changes hence this thread.
It might not necessarily be a bad thing but given a choice I would prefer a lesser intrusive interface just as they have done by minimizing it on an unlocked screen.
It's confirmed, on the home screen, an incoming call is a simple banner notification. On the lock screen however, it takes up the whole screen just like in iOS 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, etc.
But if your phone is locked then you aren’t using it, so what’s the issue with the incoming calls taking up the full screen?
over the years of using smartphones i have become more and more discrete in how i use them
for example i have even stoped using the ringtone(s)
if it is in my pocket i just set it to vibrate
it i am at work or at home i just put it completely on silent as long as it is within viewing distance i can detect all my calls
if really i need sound notifications they are on minimum volume
i have since moved on from the "loud" alerts which can even be annoying to other people that i may have around
and with this approach, that i can understand is pretty much personal, i would be happy to have a very minimal call alert option on my lock screen
