Hi LivLoehan,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see you have a question about the speakers on your iPhone, and we'd like to help.


The speaker being used on an iPhone is automatic, there is no setting to change that.

Except for when you are using the Phone app, and are on a call. Then you can use the automatic Receiver speaker, which you hold to your ear to hear. Or select "Speaker", so you'll then use the speaker on the iPhone, which one is located at the bottom right of your iPhone. The bottom left is the microphone.


If you aren't hearing sound when using the receiver or speaker, this article can help:

If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker


Take care!
