Many iphone users are complaining that after
upgrading to iOS 11, the speaker icon in the upper right corner of the Voice
Memos app has become unresponsive. The users are not able to toggle the speaker
button in voice memo. Apparently by default, the icon is toggled on in iOS 11, so
that voice memos are played through the external speaker. When tried to toggle
the icon off (i.e. the icon is gray), the icon does not change.
The voice memo speaker issue is even reported
by many iphone 7 and iphone 8 users as well with iOS 11.0.1 and iOS
11.0.2.
To fix iphone issue with voice memo speaker please try below possible
fix and work around:
Fix 1: Plugging and unplugging a pair of earphones.
Plugged in an earphone into the earphone jack
of the iphone, which seems to help on gets rid of the issue. Now, you would be
able to take the speaker on and off and play through the earphone by touching
the speaker icon on the voice memo screen, blue speaker indicating phone
speaker is on and white indicating is off and earphone mode.
Fix 2 : Use Control Centre
It is also more like a temporary fix but works
well for the issue. Navigate to Control Center, long press or 3D
Touch Music then press the->Audio routing button and switch from Speaker to
iphone.
This should help to get back the control to iphone
but clearly the fix is out of App, so making it temporary. Apple should address
this issue in upcoming release of iOS 11.
