Earlier today I was using my iPhone 7 and listening to music with my Apple headphones without any problems. Nothing happened and as I plugged in the headphones in the lightning jack again, no sound was coming out of the headphones anymore. Although speakers on the iPhone were working. I turned the phone off, but it got stuck on the Apple icon. After restarting over and over for about 30 mins, my iPhone turned on again. Ever since, no sound comes out of my headphones when plugged in. Instead the sound comes out of the speaker on the phone itself. I am suddenly not able to call and when I try to use the mic on the iPhone it doesn't work. I can't send voice messages and call. Even whilst recording a video no sound is recorded. I updated to 11.4.1 and restarted it multiple times. Even cleaned the jack, but still the same issue.

So the mic is not working and when I plug in headphones the sound comes out of the speakers on the phone.

How can I solve this?

It sounds like there could be a problem with the Lightning plug or jack.

My iPhone does charge when connected to a charger. Where is the mic located? Is it also in the lightning jack?

Clean out your headphone jack. It's probably full of lint. Us a toothpick or non metal object. Maybe even compressed air or small vacuum.

I've already tried that. Doesn't seem to solve it.

Might be time to have Apple to take a look at it.

Gotta be in it to win it

Interesting. We had the same issue with my wife’s iPhone 7. (Just for reference two year AC+ expired two months earlier) Called the Apple store and went in with the phone. They said yep it’s broken and wanted to charge $300 to fix. Instead I traded the phone in for $250 for a 128 GB red XR.

(I did try several rounds of turn off-turn on, force reset etc)

Hi has anybody fixed this issue? My iPhone 7 did this to me yesterday, I was on a call on loud speaker and the next thing I know the phone cuts out. The after effect is now when making or receiving calls I can’t hear nothing but the speakers work when listening music or make calls via Bluetooth, I can’t even put the call on louder speaker as the symbol is greyed out and you can press it.

Please let me know if somebody found a fix for this.

Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue with an iPhone 8 - even though headphones are connected, sound is still coming from the phone's speakers. This occured after I connected the AUX port from my car.

SOLVED!
Plug the headphones in, you may hear an audio "beep". Go to Bluetooth settings, scroll down to find a new option "Lightning" and select. Audio switches to headphones. Did this with non powered headphones.

happened to my iphone 7 today. Was working normal for hours with and without headphones in, and then out of nowhere when i go to use my earphones the sound plays through phone speaker. my apple headphones are only like 2 months old, they work in other iphones and my phone can charge so the headphones aren’t the issue nor my lighting jack i don’t think. i can’t send voice notes, and when i ring someone i can’t hear them or put on loudspeaker as the button is greyed out. would really appreciate any info or even advice honestly.
thank you!
