Headphones

I have a iPhone XR, and when my headphones are plugged in I can hear my music playing but don’t hear my phone calls that are coming in. Anyone else out there with this issue, and is there anything I can do to solve this issue?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Headphones not a choice for phone calls? My wired headphones with lightning adapter won't work with phone calls on my iPhone 12. I am guessing it is a simple fix, as the headphones work fine with YouTube and other apps, just not with phone calls or voicemails. I have powered down & restarted, looked in Settings, and pulled down the upper-right menu which gives me choices of speaker and other devices in my home - but I am not finding a way to direct the phone to the headphones. Anyone know the fix for this?

iPhone headphones don’t work on phone calls, only work with music apps My iPhone 12 mini came with a lightning headphone that works great with my audio apps but doesn’t work with the iPhone phone app. When I receive a call while using the headphones the sound only comes from the phone’s built in speakers, not through the headphones. How do I get the phone app to work with my genuine IPhone headphones?

Hello,

Hmm, it should work. What type of headphones are you using? Wired? AirPods? Other? See this:

Good luck.
