Call audio routing IOS 15

How can I prevent iphone from answering on bluetooth speaker if Call audio routing is set to automatic?

I cannot manually select the internal speaker, so I either have to select the loud speaker of the bluetooth device. So if I select the ‘automatic’ option, the call will use my bluetooth device.

Incoming calls routing to speaker Since resetting my phone all calls are being answered by speaker. Every forum tells me to go to settings - general- accessibility - call audio routing. This does not exist in my settings. There is no accessibility under general. It’s right there in the first settings menu. And in accessibility there’s nothing that says anything about call routing. I’m using an iPhone 8 with iOS 14.4.1

Question about Call Audio Routing Hi! I am wondering if it would be possible to make it so that the standard setting for audio routing for calls is set to "speaker" (I know this can be done in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing), but also at the same time make it so that if I connect a bluetooth headset, the iPhone will automatically choose the bluetooth headset as the call audio source? It works if I answer a phone call/make a phone call on speaker, and then connect a bluetooth headset, but if I then hang up the call and make a new one, the iPhone shows me a list of audio sources (while automatically choosing "speaker"). I am asking for a friend who is paralyzed and cannot physically operate the iPhone without help, and is thus dependent on the iPhone automatically answering on speaker, but who would like to be able to make calls if he happens to be wearing a bluetooth headset without asking for help to either take the headset off and power it down, or to operate his iPhone by way of selecting the bluetooth headset as the audio source. Thanks in advance

Bluetooth call / media sound turn on / off Dear Community! I have a problem with the bluetooth connection in my car. Usually I hear the radio and make some calls through the bluetooth connection and sometimes I use my phone for navigation. The problem is that I don’t hear the navigation sounds. I think the phone plays through it as a bluetooth media sound but because of i’m hearing the radio, my car doesn’t “play” it. I would like to turn off on my phone the bluetooth media playing with my car and use it only for calls. How can i do it? And the other problem in the same topic with my bluetooth speaker. I don’t want it to use for calling, only for media playing. How can i turn the calling off? I’m a new ios use, in android i had the option for all paired bluetooth devices to turn on/off the media or call sounds.

Hello AmirMha,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!

We see that you are wondering how to change the call audio to the iPhone internal speaker when Call Audio Routing is turned on.

We’d be happy to help you!

With the Call Audio Routing accessibility option, you may not be able to manually choose the internal speaker.

You can leave feedback for this option directly through Product Feedback.

You can refer to Route and automatically answer calls on iPhone for more information also.

Take care.
