The option to turn this off was introduced I think in iOS 11 which means you would not have that option on your 4S.

I would like, and never yet heard of, a means to switch that feature off so we can operate it like the old phones, we click a button to put it on, or off, at will, our will that is!

Automatic switching to the speakerphone is a Voiceover feature not a general accessibility feature hence it is in Voiceover settings. The call audio routing section says this: Call audio routing determines where audio will be heard during a phone call or Facetime Audio. The options are Automatic (the default), Bluetooth headset or speaker. You can also turn on auto answer here which if turned on lets you set a time in seconds and if you turn this on and, for example, set it to 5 seconds then if a phone call is received the call will be answered automatically after 5 seconds, i.e. you don’t have to do a 2-finger double tap or tap on “Answer”. The setting this person wants to turn off can be found in Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover > Audio It is called Auto select speaker in call, by default it is on. The explanation underneath says “During audio calls automatically switch to the speaker when not holding your iPhone to your ear. Does your friend have a case on the phone? I used to have some issues with that with my 6S Plus, but I also have an iPhone 8 and it never does this any more unless I really hold it away from my ear. I wonder if her case somehow interferes by covering or being too close to the area near the top of the phone where the proximity sensor is located.

Also, when she tries to make it turn off it often won't do it. I had this trouble with my iPhone 4S but have never had it on my 6S. In fact my speaker phone never comes on unless I go and hit the button to turn it on. My question is does anyone know if there is some setting which will turn off the auto speaker phone feature? I couldn't find anything obvious in my phone yet mine never comes on. She is very frustrated with this and wants to take her phone back if she can't get it to stop. Thanks.
