how to stop iphone change from speaker to audio

I have an iPhone 12 Pro.  


Bluetooth is OFF and is never on.


I have removed facetime. 


I do not have linked calls set up. I never have had linked calls on this phone. 


The speaker option changes to audio every few days. I turn off and on the phone and

this resets back to defaulting to speaker (no other options).


I want to permanently stop my phone changing from speaker to audio.


I am not connected to iCloud. 


I reset my phone, and for several days when I go to make a call (or receive) it

shows the option as speaker. 


After several days the speaker icon changes to audio and shows 3 options (speaker,

iPhone and iPad). 


My iPad has never been linked to this iPhone and does not have Bluetooth on.


I have gone through the articles that say about unlinking a device but no where

are these two devices linked (That I can find).


I only want the speaker option, and I don't want to have to reset every few days.

My previous iPhone (X) did not do this.

Hi Cypher70!


It sounds like you want to only use the Speaker setting for calls rather than defaulting to the iPhone audio, and we're happy to help. It is not possible to only use the speaker for calls, as the default will be to route the audio to the iPhone receiver. If we are misunderstanding what you're trying to do, please clarify further and we'll investigate further.

This is a screen shot after a reset of my iPhone 12 Pro.


It shows onnly Speaker no other options (this is what I want and what my iPhone X did).


After a random period of time (between 24 hours and 10 days) speaker disappears and is replaced by 3 option (Audio, Speaker and something else). This is not what I want.
