I hadn't used the headphones before this happened. I've tried cleaning out the jack with a match (it looks very clean) and plugging the headphones in and out several times whilst watching a video. Neither worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Saw a bunch of posts on this and some of the answers are pretty stupid. In fact, some are malicious. There is no software reset, reboot, network reset steps to do this. The headphone jack is DIRTY and/or got wet. That simple. Phone thinks there is a jack in there so its stuck in headphone mode. One suggestion was to stick a paperclip in the jack. That will potentially damage your jack and phone!!! How stupid can one be?
Heres a fix that is SAFE and works. Use a cotton swab to rub alcohol or contact cleaner on the head phone cable jack and insert it a few times. Each time you pull it out, wipe the jack clean and insert it again. keep doing it until you see your ringer volume pop back up. Don't stuff a cotton swab up in there. I ended up using a toothpick with a tiny lens cleaner cloth wrapped around it and was able to insert it into the jack and rotate as I pulled it out. Lens cloth came out very dirty. Phone works now.
this worked!!! I already went to an apple service store and Verizon, they didn't know how to fix this, THANK You saved me a lot of money
Great fix, worked immediately!
1) have someone call you, 2) turn on to speaker mode, 3)turn off the speaker, 4) plug in your headphone, 5) un-plug headphone.
Hello y’all! I have been trying to remove headphone-mode from my IPhone 6s for like 2 hours. Nothing worked! I turned my phone off and on several times, I plugged and unplugged the headphones likee 20times, nothing!
I read somewhere that If u put the phone in Aeroplane-mode for 15minutes the headphones wouldn’t appear.
I set it on Aeroplane mode while still using wi-fi connection to search for other ways.
I went to Settings-General - accessibility- voiceover( nothing happened) / Accessibility- call audio routing- automatic, speaker than automatic again ( still nothing)
While taking a screenshot of one of the other solutions through the browser, I heard the screenshot sound.
AEROPLANE MODE SOLVED IT!! 😄😄
TThis totally works thanks so much!
I Also have the same problem.
Tried all of the above solutions but still the phone is in headphone mode. 😟
i think I should visit Apple store now
Try the paperclip option. Stick it in the jack and juggle while listening to music! Thanks to Danny6052
Thanks for the info. I tried this for about 5 mins and it worked. 🙂
Sorry...accidentally posted a reply to this but can't seem to delete it.
