6s Hey Siri call doesn't activate speakerphone

[DKO110]

When I make a call via Hey Siri, isn't it supposed to automatically turn on the speakerphone. She even says so but doesn't do it.

For example, when I say: Hey Siri, call Amy

She says: Calling Amy with speakerphone

But it doesn't turn on the speaker.

Anyone else experiencing this?


EDIT:

Finally figured out the problem and I'm pretty sure it's a bug.

It doesn't work with Wi-Fi Calling enabled. Works fine without it.

Seems to be working fine here.

Try a reboot or restore the phone from a Backup

Just tried a reboot. Still not working.

If you don't mind, can you check to see if you have "Call Audio Routing" set to "Automatic" or "Speaker"?

It's in Settings --> General --> Accessibility (about half-way down).

Set to Automatic.

Set to Automatic.

Damn. Guess I'll have to try a reset and restore.

I don't have iTunes so I'll have to go to the store. Was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

Why do you have to go to the store to reset/restore? You can reset from the menu and restore from iCloud, no?

From what I understand, iCloud doesn't backup and restore everything.

iCloud backups don't include:

• Data that's already stored in the cloud, like contacts, calendars, notes, My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
• Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
• Apple Pay information and settings
• Touch ID settings
• Content you didn't get directly from iTunes, App, or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs
• iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content (If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.)

The other things are easy to redo.

For some reason, it doesn't work with Wi-Fi Calling enabled. Works fine without it.
