Sep 17, 2014 9:39 PM in response to twentworthby Meg St._Clair,That's the way it worked in iOS 7, too. If you want to make a handsfree call, use a headset. My BlueAnt Q3 works great with Siri.

Sep 17, 2014 9:58 PM in response to petermac87by twentworth,You're missing the point. IOS 7 didn't have a hands free mode. What's the point of being able to initiate a call hands free but you can't actually talk without touching the phone? A real bonehead decision on Apple's part.

Sep 17, 2014 10:12 PM in response to twentworthby ssschmidt,Must enable "Hey Siri" in Settings - General - Siri, AND the device has to be connected to power. It works, I just did it.

Sep 18, 2014 12:33 AM in response to twentworthby koco82,This is just the reason thy I got to this forum. I wanted to make a suggestion:
It isn't really hands-free if I, after telling Siri to place a call, need to take the phone in my hand, or need to have headphones on while it is also connected to power supply.
It would be nice if Siri would understand a command like "Hey Siri! Call my girlfriend on speaker!".
So when the iPhone is connected to power supply and the "Hey Siri" function is enabled, the priority order (at least for outgoing calls) should automatically be speaker, bluetooth, headphones, phone (most hands-free to least hands-free).
The infrared sensor could be used to switch automatically from speaker to phone when the device is picked up and put to the ear.

Make the suggestion to Apple feedback

Nov 15, 2014 8:06 PM in response to ssschmidtby mklement0,Using "Hey Siri" (which only works when connected to power) still doesn't turn on the speakerphone.
The only way to automatically use the speakerphone when Siri initiates a call is to use Settings > General > Accessibility > Call Audio Routing > Speaker - but then ALL calls default to using the speakerphone.
