How to Use iPhone Speaker

Today's TipsMake will show you how to use the iPhone's speaker feature to amplify the phone volume during a call. You can turn on the iPhone speaker during a call, or change the settings so that your iPhone turns on the speaker every time you make or receive an incoming call. Unfortunately, we cannot use the speaker to amplify the volume for videos or voice messages.
