its so simple surely but really annoying.

I always have my headphones on walking to and from work, so I can listen to mainly Portuguese lessons, but also sometimes music.

however I hate the all or nothing attitude to at least the defaults of where the sounds come out.

if my phone rings, and I can understand why this might be the default as a lot of people are comfy answering through headphones, but apple at least understands not everyone does as it allows you to answer it and then choose through the phone but thats a few more seconds and button presses, why cant I set it to default to phone microphone/speaker.

also, why cant I set it so the phone rings and texts beep through the normal phone even if the headphones are connected? I forget disconnect my headphones, and sometimes I do disconnect and they randomly reconnect and then I miss calls and text messages as I don't hear them.

would love to be wrong and for someone to point out theres something in settings.
