No, It could be the setting got changed.
The setting is under Settings, Accessibility, Audio, Auto Select Speaker in call, which should be on. Right below that the explanation says: During audio calls, automatically switch to the speaker when not holding your iPhone to your ear. If you put your hand over the top of the phone, it has the same effect. I think you have to have the phone at least a foot or more away from your head for the switch to happen.

I have a friend who is running IOS 18 and is not able to pull the phone from his ear and have the speaker working on the phone. Is there a solution? Is this a change in 18? Thanks. God bless!
