wired headphone with iphone XS Max

I needed to use a wired headphone; so I purchased a lightning to 3.5mm connector and plugged it in. The audio on various music apps/audio books etc. work fine. However the phone does not work (with the wired headset - it works fine in bluetooth mode). Any idea what I need to do.

Hello Dahe,


Which headphones are you using? Are they made by Apple? Is the 3.5mm to Lightning adapter made by Apple? Are they also equipped with a microphone? I suspect that either your headphones or the adapter is probably not manufactured by Apple. Sometimes this mismatch causes limitations on one or more functions of the accessory.
