iPhone iOS 13.2 - Speaker phone how to remove Airplay devices

[netnothing]

I believe this is new in 13.2 - when I get a call and press the Speaker icon, options show on the screen to either choose Speaker, or either of my two Apple TVs. Is there anyway to turn this off so that if I press Speaker it just turns on the speaker? I don't want to see my Apple TVs in the list.

Isn’t new for me. Mine shows pretty much all my Apple devices haha. It will say speaker, Apple TV (2), iPad and MacBook speakers. Not sure of a way to disable outside of maybe turning off airplay?

So weird as I use Speaker a lot at home and don't ever recall getting the options.

No. You will always see your AirPlay devices if wifi is turned on. I suppose if you turn wifi off on the phone, you'll only see the speaker option.

Thanks everyone. Wish they would give the option to configure that. I just want to turn on the damn speakerphone while on hold

What if you go to Settings > General > Airplay & Handoff > Automatically Airplay to TVs and set it to Never?

Thanks, but didn't work. You know the more I use this, the more I think maybe it's been this way for a while. Sucks to get old and forget things.

I takes calls all day, everyday, for work and I've never seen my Apple TV show up in devices to take calls on until I updated to iOS 13.2 today.

This has to be a bug. I just tried forwarding a call to my Apple TV. Music was playing on my phone, initiated a call, then forward call to Apple TV. Nothing shows or plays on ATV but music automatically resumed on my phone speaker, while call screen is active.

Same here. I work from home so I'm always on the same wifi network. I've never seen my Apple Tvs show up during a phone call until this update. I always use to hit speaker and it would take me straight to speaker. Now I get all of these weird Apple Tv options. It has to be a bug.

Seems like some of this has been present in earlier versions of iOS 13 as well:

Single Speakerphone Option?

WTF did Apple get rid of the speakerphone option when taking a call? Unless I'm doing something wrong, I now have to click 'Audio' (where the speakerphone used to be), then select speakerphone from the pop up list at the bottom. Is there an easier way to do this or a default? So many things...

how to turn off speakerphone options?

it's annoying that every time i click on the speakerphone option during a call a menu pops up asking if i want to have the call transferred to my ipad, or use the phone. is there a way to turn this off ? in settings when I disable "allow calls on other devices" that doesn't work for my watch...

The ability to take/make calls on other devices linked to your iCloud account is normal and I can see the use-case for that. But this thread seems to be specifically related Apple TV’s showing up in the call speaker menu.

I can see a Homepod for making calls but I can’t see the sense in an Apple TV.

Glad to see at least I’m not going crazy. Really hoping this is a bug and not a design choice. Not sure the use case of taking a call Apple TV.

Oh, I dunno, maybe it has a great sound system and you have a bunch of people in the room who want to listen in. Question is, how does the person on the other end hear what you’re saying? Does it still listen on phone mic? Seems it would have to.

This was never there in any of my other versions. It just started with this update.

I use speaker phone almost every day to talk on the phone when I'm home and never had this issue.

Same here. I really hope they fix this soon or at least give us an option to disable it.

Yeah nothing like pumping a low quality AT&T call through my $1000 AVR and speakers

I’m guessing this would be an edge case for most people. Also assuming you’d still be talking through the phone.

Seems this would have been better served as a long press while keeping the default behavior of the button.

This is not solved because the link you provided does not solve the OP's request. Apple TV's are not related to the answer linked. I do realize that its related to the actual topic subject, but the issues are different and those solutions are unfortunately not helpful. It's also not a true solution but a rather limiting bandaid suggested in that thread.
