Question

Why does my iPhone 6s now always choose bluetooth speakers?

After a recent update to IOS 11.2.1, now for every call I have to take it off bluetooth speakers. I don't know why it automatically chooses bluetooth speakers when I do not have any bluetooth speakers paired with this device. I made screen shots of what I see when a call comes in to my iPhone. They are kinda dark. Hope you can see them.

See there are no bluetooth devices paired, but every time I get a call, the bluetooth symbol is on the area where I would choose speaker. I don't know why this changed. Any ideas? See the bluetooth symbol on the area where I would normally choose speaker phone?

Yes, that's a bit odd. If it were me, I'd reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You'll lose saved WiFi passwords but nothing else.

I did what you said. It didn't work. Still have same problem with it wanting to use a bluetooth speaker.

Try a forced restart?

The gremlins are really attacking that phone!

It is not automatically selecting bluetooth... that's just what the button looks like when there is more than one output device available. In this case, your Mac.
