How to Turn Off Automatic Switch to Speaker on iPhone Calls

My setting is correct. It's on automatic. Still whenever I make an outgoing call the speaker is on by default and I end up hitting my ear.

Settings —> Accessibility —> VoiceOver —> Audio —> Auto select speaker in calls to no

I hope this resolves your issue. This solution worked for me

I am having the same issue. This is ridiculous! No setting should be set to cause this unless you want it. I tried both solutions suggested, but to no avail.

Still does Not work

This did not solve the issue for me. The phone is already on 'Automatic' and there is not a 'No' option.

Same issue and have checked my settings in both spots.

I am having the same issue with iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 17.4.1

are there any known issues on apples end. All my settings are correct.

I have done all these things and my phone still automatically goes to speaker when I call someone or receive calls. Any other advice?

Hey there ThomasDalby,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help with phone calls. The correct place to adjust this feature is located under: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing.

Once you're there, check to make sure "Speaker" isn't selected. If it is, choose "Automatic". Test to see if calls route as expected.

Take care

I think Carplay connection to your phone is causing the issue. remove your car from Carplay settings on the phone. Try this solution. If not then also try to switch off Bluetooth after trying previous step.

Despite trying all suggested troubleshooting options, I am still encountering this issue where all incoming and outgoing calls are automatically routed to the speakerphone. This problem persists even after attempting the following steps:

• Restarting the iPhone

• Checking and adjusting call audio settings

• Resetting all settings to default.

Device- 15 Pro Max. iOS- 17.4.1

Same phone and iOS. Exact same problem. It's pretty infuriating. Hopefully Apple can track it down. Every time I make a call with bluetooth, I forget it defaults to speaker. I am reminded when the call starts to ring with my ear next to the speaker. Boy is that sucker loud.

tried both of these methods.

Mine is doing the same thing even after following these steps. What else can I do?
