Description
I am using RNCallKeep and react-native-incall-manager to handle the audio routing from the application UI, during VOIP calls.
While switching the route from Bluetooth or Microphone to Speaker from the call kit screen, the Speaker icon is visible for a split second then it changes back to the previous route icon (Bluetooth / Microphone). However, the route stays on Speaker.
Although switching back to Bluetooth / Microphone works fine and the icon is also updated accordingly.
I am receiving the audio route change notification for "Speaker" in the following method in onAudioRouteChange method in RNCallKeep.m. Also, on the JS side, I am getting the Event as well as shown in bold in the below logs, however on the callkit screen the icon changes to Bluetooth again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect a Bluetooth headset to your iOS device
- Initiate or receive a VOIP call
- When the route is set to Bluetooth/Microphone
- Now switch the route to Speaker from the Callkit screen (issue is reproduced here)
- Now again switching the route to Microphone or Bluetooth also works fine.

Do you have any solution here? I'm experiencing this too, my workaround is use the RN-InCall Manager to go into Speaker Mode but doing so moving from Speaker -> Earpiece / BT -> Earpiece always redirects to BT device.
wilkinsonj commentedon Sep 25, 2024
This is a legitimate issue. Hitting the speaker icon causes the audio to go into speaker mode, but it immediately turns off on the Apple interface

Any updates here? I am also having this issue.

This issue still persists for me. I've tried changing from
AVAudioSessionModeDefaulttoAVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat.I've also tried adding options such as
AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetoothA2DP,AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionDuckOthers,AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionMixWithOthersbut without any luck.NCSmit commentedon Nov 3, 2025

I am facing the same issue. Did anyone find a solution for this please?

We saw a very similar route state problem in an Expo SDK 56 application using React Native 0.85.3.
During a CallKit call, route changes could be emitted in quick succession. The native route was changed successfully, but a later event could make the CallKit UI show the previous route again. In our local fix, application-level route requests are queued until didActivateAudioSession and only the latest request is applied after activation.
We also made the iOS route handling use the route type for the built-in Phone route, rather than relying only on the displayed name. This helped keep the native state and the UI consistent across physical iPhones.
Separately, PR #845 fixes a crash that occurred when one of these route operations failed and RNCallKeep passed an NSException directly to a Promise rejection. This issue is useful context for the broader audio route reliability work.
