Hi Sieghard & Mr. Ed, I don't know if this setting requires Voiceover to be activated, but it might be worth taking a look at. To change the auto speakerphone settings do the following: Open Settings / General / Accessibility, & swipe to the, Interaction Heading, & the option to change the auto speaker phone settings are found here,
Call Audio Routing, double tap on it to open / change options. Your options will be Automatic, Bluetooth headset, & Speaker. My phone is set to automatic. Then exit out of settings as usual. It's a little too late for me to experiment, but please give feedback as to whether it works for sighted folks or not. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool.

Yes, I don't think the majority of the sighted world would like it in fact and in any case it's so easy for a sighted person to press the speaker button if they have to that it wouldn't make much sense. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mr. Ed Sent: Monday, September 25, 2017 9:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: How to turn speaker on when holding phone away from face. Hi Sieghard, I finally figured it all out. I could not get it to work on a friend of mines until I figured out you had to have VO on. He would have like that feature. I am surprise they only have that feature work automatically with VO on. I guess the sighted world is out of luck. They will have to push the button to go to the speaker phone. LOL Thanks for all your assistance.

Hi Ed and others, Most of the feature has been explained. The person who said she hates it and wish she could turn it off can now do so following Mike's instructions, the ability to turn it off was introduced in iOS 10. The only other thing I would add here and that's quite important is that if Ed's friend is sighted they won't be able to enable this, the automatic switching from earpiece to speakerphone is only available if Voiceover is running.

Hi Mr. Ed, This is where you'll find the setting for when the phone switches to the speaker phone when you move the phone away from your ear, & it switches to speaker phone. Settings / General / Accessibility / Voice Over / Audio If you want the phone to switch to the speaker phone when you take the phone away from your ear, have this setting turned on. Take care. Mike.

Hi Group, When I receive a call I can hold my iPhone 6s plus away from my face and hold the phone flat and the caller will come out of the speaker. Then I can put it back up to my ear and it will automatically come out the hear piece speaker. So my question is how or where do you turn this feature on to have it do that. I have a person that want to turn this feature on . I cannot find it in settings as I must not be looking in the correct place. Anyone have any idea’s as to where I turn this on at?
