iOS 13, Siri making calls on speaker phone by default.

Me too! I have an iPhone 7+ and tried every work around (also tried changing to bluetooth and back again) and I’ve also shut down and hard reboot, but to no avail. Please, please Apple gurus, FIX THIS PROBLEM! 😖

EXACTLY, and I am so aggravated by this! My iPhone XS has been doing this every since Saturday October 5, 2019 when my iPhone automatically updated to iOS 13.1.2. I immediately contacted Apple and they informed me that they are aware of this, and they’re working on it. He told me hopefully it should be fixed on the next update. He didn’t know when that would be.

I still can't keep the iPhone 11Pro connected to the car's BT. Calls hang up BT 20 seconds later. I call back and nothing changes. Sometimes the car's multimedia system restarts, which had never happened before. Since I had confidence in Apple, I upgraded the old iPhone 5 SE to iOS 13.1.2 and got exactly the same issues as the iPhone 11 Pro. The old iPhone 4S continues to work well and remains reliable. It is undoubtedly a serious software problem. Make the software and firmware updates. It's the least Apple has to do for customers who buy Apple products for them to exist.

This might help you I got siri to stop actually going to speaker

settings -- accessibility -- Touch -- (at bottom) call audio routing (i selected bluetooth headset check off) closed the setting

now when i ask siri to make a call SIRI SAYS IT IS "GOING TO SPEAKER"

BUT IT DOESN'T GO TO SPEAKER IT GOES TO THE PHONE LIKE A NORMAL CALL

good luck

I wrote Gordon Kelly of Forbes. He is the head tech writer who writes about all phones. I wrote him and asked him to publish our story! He did it last night!!! Maybe apple will listen!!! I'm posting the link. He even quoted us!!!

That was a great idea. I just read his post. Seems that thousands are having the same issue and hopefully Apple is working on a fix. Is there a way to contact Apple to report this issue. Maybe from hearing from yet another person will push them along.

The same thing happens to me. Very annoying. If you go into settings and change siri to bluetooth it won't roll over to speaker but she still says. "calling ---, speakerphone" I was told at the Apple store that it is a known glitch and should be fixed with the next update. But they have told me a lot of things that turn out not to be true, so who knows.

I am experiencing the same thing. I use this feature all the time and have never had it call on speaker unless I ask Siri to do so. I tried to change assesibility / touch to bluetoth and plugged in my headphones, it still says calling on speaker when I call, but it does not go to speaker. This is a big problem and needs to be fixed.

THE NEW UPDATE TDATE WORKS! My microphone is fixed! I can use Siri and I can use my headphones once again!!! Update ur phone to 13.1.3 as it may begin working for some users. So thankful I can finally go to the gym with headphones again. Whew.

Update 13.1.3 did not fix the problem on my iPhone 11 Pro. If I use my voice to tell Siri to place a call, it still results in the call being automatically routed over the speaker, even when a headset is plugged in.

That doesn't seem to affect it. I've tried "Automatic", "Bluetooth Headset" and Speaker all seem to default to speakerphone. It's really annoying when I'm in my car trying to make a phone call using Siri and it always goes to Speakerphone instead of my cars bluetooth.

In my case, i had my phone plugged into the audio aux port of the car so the stereo becomes the speakerphone. I had to unplug and replug the phone (WHILE DRIVING) in order to get it to use the speakers. I assume this will be the same for anyone using earbuds as well. Can't imagine what it does for bluetooth.

Apps crashing. App dialogs taking over my phone until I respond. Your text editing enhancements are unusable. Phone calls using "Hey Siri" defaulting to speaker and forcing me to unplug and replug (while driving) my aux jack.

WTH was your testing department doing Apple? This update is a pile of crap!

How do i get Siri to quit automatically putting calls on speaker. Every time I say something like, “Hey Siri, call Jim.” The call is placed and put on speaker phone. I then have to tap to turn speak off, and then continue the call. This just started after my last automatic update.
