iPhone 11 iPhone 11 doesn't automatically switch to headphone mic

[Ohhenry97]

Basically, when my headphones are plugged in and I call someone, my iPhone 11 doesn't automatically use the mic of my headphones but the normal mic of the phone. So when I put my phone in my pocket or similar people will hear me far away and muffled. However, when I unplug my headphones during the call and plug them in again, it switches to the headphone mic most of the time and people say they can hear me way more clearly.

The headphones are the original Apple earphones that came with the phone and sit in the lighting port. I've also checked Call Audio Routing, which is on Automatic.

Anyone experiencing the same issue and/or have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Although I don’t use the wired connection anymore but check if there’s any connection issues in the port. Lint perhaps?!

I have the same problem on my iPhone SE. Have you been able to solve this problem?
