I have just bought some bluetooth headphones and paired them with my phone. So, now the audio comes out of the headphones. That's great most of the time, but what if I want to use the phone's speaker for a bit? There must be a setting to change, other than unpairing the headphones?

    Turn off Bluetooth?

    What type of phone? On an iPhone you can easily switch between Bluetooth and built-in speakers.

    Thanks. I'll try that. :)


    Mind you, that will mess up the NHS app.

    Turn off the headphones then - doesn't the phone revert to speaker?

    Both my laptop and TV will connect to the headphones when the phones are turned on and just revert to normal when the phones are turned off.
