bluetooth earbuds

Hello haroldfromthePark,

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you'd like your phone calls to be routed to your Bluetooth earbuds. I'd be happy to provide information that may help.

This information may help:

• Call audio should route to the accessory that answered a call. If you answer the call from the iPhone display, the phone call audio may not route to the Bluetooth accessory.
• You can manually route audio to the intended source using the Audio button in the Phone app.
• Check under Settings > General > Accessibility > Call Audio Routing should be set to Automatic.

If the phone call is still not routed through your earbuds, try these steps:

1. Be sure to have completed all incremental iOS 13 updates: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You'll want to have a current backup prior to updating.
2. Navigate to Settings > Bluetooth. Turn off Bluetooth, wait a few seconds, then enable it again.
3. Restart your iPhone and your Bluetooth accessory.

I hope that helps. Take care!

Hello haroldfromthePark,

Thank you for your reply. Let's keep working on this.

Try Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing (it's at the bottom of the page.) You should find the options Automatic, Bluetooth Headset, and Speaker.

Also, did you have a chance to try the other troubleshooting steps? If not, give those a try, and report back with the results.

Have a great day.

Hi haroldfromthePark,

Glad to hear that resolved the issue for you.

Take care!
