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?

Wired headphones do not work for calls on iPhone mini 13 I just got an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 18.4.1 and wired headphones work fine for everything except calls. Media, Zoom, etc ok. The phone app including voicemail doesn’t recognize that headphones are connected for audio or mic. I’ve tried Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter with 3rd party headphones and Apple headphones with a lightning connector and have the same problem. I’ve seen similar issues from others but none of the proposed solutions worked for me. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

What does the dongle manufacturer say about phone calls?
