Incoming calls do not go to Bluetooth headset

My Bluetooth headset is on, I just finished calling someone, but when a new call comes in — my iPhone switches back to normal, not to the headset, and I have to do the switch manually on my phone.


How can I correct this?

iPhone 13

Troubleshooting iPhone Bluetooth:


A. Start Here: If you can't Connect a Bluetooth Accessory to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


B. Re-Pair this, Literally:

Try re-pairing your speaker. You would manually unparit, it, and then par it back.
