audioheadphonesiphone
I updated my 5c to iOS 9.3.2 and since then the phone has been behaving as though the headphone are plugged in.
Neither speaker nor microphone work normally when taking calls – I hear nothing and the caller cant hear me. But when I switch it to speaker during a call it works fine, and I can hear the ring tone. Sounds in apps like Spotify dont work either.
Of course I've turned the phone on and off again.
Would anyone know what I can do?
The reason why some apps played sound and other didn't is because individual iOS applications can decide whether their audio should play regardless of the mute switch state.
Apple recommend that if audio is critical to the usage of the app, for example a "teach me German" speech app then should probably ignore the state of the mute switch. However if the audio is superfluous to the main function of the application then it usually should not play when the mute setting is on.
Additionally an application can decide to blend its sound with existing iPod music playback, or to pause iPod playback when the application launches and manage sound exclusively by itself.
The mute switch does not affect sound through headphones.
Do Not Disturb can do that, no 3rd party app needed.
You might have to juggle a new contacts group, because it only allows to receive calls from one group at a time, or favourites - so to exclude 'work' you might need to create a new group containing 'everyone else'
You can also toggle it manually from the Lock Screen

Try plugging in a headset and unplugging.
