iphone auto pairing to airpods with bluetooth turned off
Hi,
I want to make a call using the iPhone speaker. I took my AirPods off, turned Bluetooth off on my iPhone, and started the call. I even selected my iPhone speaker as the output. However, when the call connected, my iPhone automatically turned Bluetooth back on and reconnected to my AirPods.
Is this an intended feature or a bug? How can I prevent this from happening?
Thank you.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
