Unable to take calls without AirPods

When a call comes in I am unable to answer the call on the phone itself. I can accept the call but cannot hear the caller and they cannot hear me. I am only able to answer with my AirPods. I have tried turning off Bluetooth and this happens even when the AirPods are out of range. When answering I do not even get the option of speakerphone.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15
