How do I remove MacBook as an option when I switch a call to speaker phone on my iphone

When I receive a phone call and try to put it on speaker it lists my MacBook as an option. Is there a way to change this?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

Why does my MacBook Air show as an audio option on iPhone's Phone app? On my iPhone in the Phone app I open a contact and select a phone number. The Phone app has six buttons, one is Audio. If I click Audio is shows iPhone, Speaker, and MacBook Air. Why? Why does it show MacBook Air on this list? How do I get rid of it? I've looked at settings on both the iPhone and the MacBook Air, and none of them indicate that the computer should show on this list on the iPhone. The computer does not have the iPhone listed in System Settings->Sound->Output & Input. System Preferences > General > AirDrop & Handoff > "Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices" is already disabled. Calls on Other Device > Allow Calls on Other Devices is not turned on. FaceTime > Preferences > Settings > Calls from iPhone is not on. Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff does not exist on my iPhone. However, Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity does. On that screen, "Continuity Camera" is turned off. None of the settings on AirPlay & Continuity are turned on. This situation is dysfunctional because when I make a call, the fact that there are three items on the context menu means that I have to press the Audio button and then pick one, whereas if the computer is not on this list, the phone will go to the Speaker just from pressing the Audio button. How do I remove MacBook Air from this context menu? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Mac showing as Audio choice on Iphone - calling or receiving calls I've seen this question several times, and all of the fixes do not work for me. Or after a reboot of iphone they work for a day and then the Macbook comes back as option. I just want the Speaker as option - not both. I have disabled handoff on both devices (even checking and then unchecking the Macbook and Ipad options on phone) I have rebooted. Turned bluetooth off on both devices (had to turn back on with Mac - have a mouse) I am on the latest software Has anyone solved this? Answering the phone and having to look down to select Speaker (vs Macbook) is a pain. I want the Macbook option gone. Thanks in Advance

This is handoff, and there is no way to change this for as far as I know
