iPhone: Turn off headphone mode - here's how

When you plug headphones into your Apple device, your iPhone automatically switches to headphone mode. If you don't have headphones plugged in and you still don't hear any sound, it may be that the mode is activated. There can be numerous reasons behind this problem.

How to turn off headphone mode on your iPhone

If you want to listen to music on your iPhone and there is no sound, it may be that headphone mode is turned on. If this is the case, you will see it on the volume indicator on your device. If you want to turn off the mode, it is important to know the cause first.

1. In most cases, it may be that you removed the headphones too quickly and your iPhone did not recognize this. Therefore, reconnect your headphones to your iPhone. Then you can slowly remove them again.
2. If the mode was still not turned off, this may be due to the headphones. Therefore, try to repeat step 1 with other headphones. Use the original headphones from Apple.
3. Another cause is that the iPhone can no longer automatically switch the playback device. Therefore, connect your device to a Bluetooth speaker. Now play music or something similar so that the device changes the playback device. Then you can disconnect the Bluetooth speaker from the iPhone again.
4. In many cases, it can also help to restart your iPhone. If this does not help, reset your iPhone to factory settings.
5. If the problem is still not solved, only a repair by a professional can help.
