Speakerphone - convenient function that allows you to output audio during calls to iPhone through regular smartphone speakers, and not just one speaker for calls or headphones. Many people use the function to talk with free hands during other activities or so that all people nearby can hear the interlocutor. The speaker is very easy to use, but maybe you just bought an iPhone for yourself and don't know how to activate or deactivate it.
Many iPhone owners they probably already know how to use the speakerphone, and if you are one of them, this article is not for you. We appeal to those who have just bought an iPhone and do not yet know how all of its functions work.
You can start a call and immediately transfer it to the speaker, or do it later at any time during the call. In any case, this is done very easily. Likewise, you can turn off the speaker at any time. Below is more about everything.
How to use the speakerphone during calls
Turning on speakerphone on iPhone is very easy, and one method works on all models and all versions of the system.
- Start the call as usual through the Phone or Contacts app.
- Activate the screen of your smartphone during dialing or during the conversation itself.
- Click on the "Speaker" button to output audio to the speakers. It will turn white. This means that the Speaker is active.
That's all, you've put your iPhone into Speaker mode. The audio will now be output to the main speakers instead of the speaker for calls.
The speaker can also be used during FaceTime audio calls. The method works the same way.
Note that if you have minimized the call screen, you will have to go back to the Phone app to turn the Speaker on or off.
How to turn off the speakerphone oniPhone
Disconnecting the Speaker is just as easy. This can be done at any time during the call, or it will disconnect automatically after it ends.
- During a call, wake up the iPhone screen.
- Press the Speaker button so it is no longer white.
You can turn off and on the speakerphone as many times as you like during a call.
There are other speaker-related features on the iPhone as well. For example, you can start calls through the Speaker with using Siri... In addition, in the settings, you can make it so that the Speaker is always turned on by default. All of these features come in very handy when you need your hands free.
If earlier you did not know how to use a speakerphone, now you know how easy and convenient it is.
By default, the sound of all calls is not transmitted through the speaker at the top of the phone. If someone wants to use the speakerphone, they can turn it on manually by pressing the "Speaker" button during active mode call. For most smartphone users, this is enough to comfortably and conveniently talk on. But in some situations, users may need to enter phone calls the speakerphone was automatically turned on, without the need to manually turn on the "Speaker" mode each time. This is especially useful while driving. Let's find out how to set up such a mode.
In order to activate the mode, which would automatically transfer calls to the speakerphone mode, you must set the default mode in the phone settings automatic switching on phone speakers (hands-free mode) for incoming calls. Including with incoming FaceTime calls... This is a very handy feature in certain situations. This functionality is especially irreplaceable, because.
1. Open "Settings". Then select "General" and enter the " Universal access".
2. Find the Audio Call Source menu under Accessibility. Enter this section. By default, most phones will be set to Auto, marked with a checkmark.
3. Change the "Auto" mode to "Speaker" to activate the speakerphone mode when incoming call.
4. Exit the phone settings mode as usual by pressing the "Back" or "Home" button.
You can immediately check how this convenient mode works. To do this, ask someone to call you on your phone or dial yourself on from another phone. If you did everything correctly, then when you pick up the handset, the "Speaker" mode will automatically turn on (Loudspeaker).
As we already noted, this mode will work not only for incoming regular phone calls, but also for incoming video calls and FaceTime calls.
That is, regardless of the type of call, picking up the handset, you will see on the screen activated mode"Speaker":
Now, by pressing the "Speaker" button, you turn off the speakerphone on the contrary. Recall that in normal mode iPhone Settings, by default, is set to send audio during a call to the speaker at the top of the phone. In this mode, to turn on the speakerphone, you must press the "Speaker" button. When you change the above settings in the phone settings, the logic of work with incoming calls changes. It should be noted that this automatic mode also works for outgoing calls.
It's incredible useful function for wide range use cases. This mode is very useful when you are unable to the traditional way answer a call or call another subscriber. For example, when you cannot put your phone to your ear. This is a very useful feature at the moment when you are driving and you receive a call. You do not need to turn on the speakerphone on the phone screen. After picking up the handset, the speakerphone mode will turn on automatically.
Also, this function is indispensable when the top speaker of the phone is faulty. With Auto Handsfree Mode, you can make and receive calls even with a broken top speaker.
This is especially true if your phone is "frozen" in the "headphone" mode. Even in this state of the phone, you can easily take the call and hear the subscriber.
In conclusion, we would like to note that in the same iPhone settings you can also select the "" mode instead of the "Speaker" mode in order to automatically redirect the sound from the subscriber to wireless headset Bluetooth. For example, if your car has a speakerphone that works via Bluetooth, then by turning on the "Bluetooth Headset" mode on the iPhone, you pick up the handset and automatically transfer the call to the speakerphone of the car. This will display the caller's name or phone number on your infotainment system.
Use the speakerphone in the car using bluetooth headsets very comfortably. Especially if you want no one to hear your conversation with another subscriber.
