How do I stop calls from going to Bluetooth

I can’t figure out how to stop calls from going to my Bluetooth speaker when my phone is on silent. I have to play music through a speaker with my phone for work, but it’s incredibly disruptive when a call comes through. There is no setting like there is on an android to stop Calls from going through on my Bluetooth speaker. How do I stop this?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Calls ringing through bluetooth I purchased a Bluetooth headband for sleeping that I play white noise through. I can not figure out how to turn off the phone calls ringing through while I sleep. I tried the silent button the side. I tried do not disturb as well as the focus sleep. The only thing that works is to turn the ring volume all the way down but it will pause the music when a call comes through. Is there not a way to stop phone calls coming through Bluetooth devices? I have an iPhone 15.

IPhone does not connect phone calls to bluetooth while playing music on it. I'm in my car, playing Spotify over the, bluetooth handsfree equipped, radio from my iPhone 12 pro, getting directions from Waze in between. I get an incoming telephone call, this call is then transfered to the iPhone internal speakers and not the radio handsfree set. This means I have to take my eyes off the road and switch the call to bluetooth to take the call or let it go. This is relatively new behaviour, the phone used to just put calls straight through to bluetooth. I don't know when this started, could be a year or so because I forget to search once I get home and I don't get many calls anyway, but when I do I would like to have them on handsfree and not have to fiddle with it. Is there a setting somewhere? I couldn't find it.

Please check you may have enabled --> Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing > Bluetooth [Ticked]

Please set it to Automatic.
