iPhone Thinks I Have Headphones Plugged In - How To Fix 

It would help if I could hear the video

Bruh, you realize the people watching this can’t hear u right 😂😂

Bro I’m wearing my headphones just to hear u😂😂

my speaker works when i go to play a ringtone in the settings but as soon as i exit the settings it goes back to headphone mode

Why does Apple not have a button to switch from headphones to ring tone to volume..... Apple needs more vision.

Who else has captions on

Did anyone else feel like their iOS was broken and u were sad because u didn’t know to fix it and just went to do something else and felt like crying. I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

Weird thing is I was having this problem and I searched for this video on my phone without realizing that that was dumb because I wouldn’t be able to hear it, but upon clicking it started to work 👍

I dropped my phone in water for a second and now it thinks headphones are plugged in xD

Seriously. Three minutes to tell me to stick a paper clip in the headphone jack to dislodge dirt? SMMFH.

One minute I was watching this video with headphones, the next I wasn’t. You saved me so much money. I used your paper clip trick and the problem was solved instantly. I wish I found your video sooner, since I’d been dealing with this problem for several weeks.

- Let me turn on my captions , to understand this video 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️😂

For the people that can’t hear him, he said to completely turn off your phone twice to make sure it isn’t a software issue, if it u the same after this, get a paperclip or something like that( like a toothpick) and put it in the headphone socket and clear the dirt, and that should work. :)

I saw this in another comment, so sorry but I’m gonna spread it. It only fixed it for about one second, however other people said it fixed it completely: Have someone call you Put it on speaker Plug in headphones Take out headphones Try it a couple times. In the end, I dried it out and cleaned it out as much as possible and then went to bed as usual, and in the morning it was fixed 😁😁

I had to plug in my headphones

read from a thread from Apple Discussion and a solution that worked for many people on that thread. Here it is: 1) have someone call you, 2) turn on to speaker mode, 3) turn off the speaker, 4) plug in your headphone, 5) un-plug headphone. This should work! (Actually, I had to do this couple of times before it finally worked for me. So don't give up if it doesn't work the first time). Good luck! \

Thank you so much you fixed my phone I thought I would have to wear headphones every day of my life even to watch one video keep doing what your doing and I really appreciate it

When you come here to watch and fix it but remember your sound doesn’t work

Omgggggg thank you 🙏 I worked now I can stop crying

Everyone is freaking out lmao am over here chilling this has happened to me before💀

Omg thank you so much!!! I was so frustrated over this. Tried a few other things. Just tried the paper clip. Took about a minute of gently moving it around in there and it came back!!!! Truly appreciate this video

I’m wearing my headphones to listen because my volume won’t work without my headphones🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ update: I just pulled a piece of old lent out of my phone. Another update: my phone volume is back☺️ THANK YOUU

i had my phone in my pocket, and it fell out. it stayed on the floor of the parking lot for 50 minutes straight, but the thing is, it was pouring rain. My ringer works and calls work, just not the actual sound lmao. what’s your guys story??

I USED MY ROOMMATE EARPHONE AND I DID IT!!!! MY SPEAKER WORK AGAIN. THANKS A LOT FOR YOU

Dude you are the best, the clip worked for me 100%

I was watching and midway through the video it randomly paused so I clicked play and my volume was back on. Thank you and your voodoo magic

Use a dry toothbrush on your headphone jack & charging port. Keep doing this for 5 to 10 minutes. I dropped mine in the snow and had no hopes left cause I’ve tried every single methods on youtube. Now it works just fine. You’re welcome 🤪😉

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve searched EVERY tutorial and only yours worked. I thought I had to get a new ipad. Thank God I don’t have to use my earphones anymore.😊

I love how this soldier didn’t think that we’d be watching the video but not be able to hear it.

This might be an older video, but your solution was THE ONLY ONE that worked for my iPhone 6S+ . Thank you for this fix.

I tried everything in the Internet, and finally watched your tip. And gosh! It worked. Thanks Ps- I used toothpick instead

this may sound stupid but I was watching and it paused and then it it’s back

My phone fell in the toilet so and it kept saying I had my headphones pluged in so I searched this up to fix the problem, I hope this works out😓😭

I tried both methods and it didn’t work, I dropped mine in the sink when the water was on on accident and it works fine except for the fact that it shows the headphone thing. When I call someone and put it on speaker, I can hear but never when I do anything else? Any thoughts?

When I watch halfway of the video, it’s suddenly paused, so I turned it back on and the audio is working again lol 😂

Thank you a lot this video aged pretty well it still works in 2023

The thing I did is I grabbed a fork and started picking around the headphone plug in thingy and it worked after !! Thank me later :)

so basically if u still use this put something in the hole where the headphones would go and try get any dirt out of it ps this worked for me so thank youuuuu!!

I Dropped me phone in the shower and now I cant hear anything anymore :(

thank you very much. this video helped me quite alot. im short on money and my phone suddenly says it’s on headphone mode. thank god i found you

OMG THIS WORKED TY SO MUCH!!

I have an iPhone 6 and I tried everything like the bic pen trick, the compressed air, hairdryer, updating my phone, restarting my phone and this video REALLY REALLY helped I tried the one with the paper clips and it works!!!!

Where’s my gang of broken phones at?

I cleaned my headphones hole smthin with the headphones bottom (idk what’s called) then I blew in the headphone hole and now it works I can listen w my iPhone, thank u so much for the vid ❤️🙏🏻I restarted it 2 times first like shut down and I kept plugging in and out the headphone bottom plug before doing what I did earlier ( I hope this helps u )

oh my god, it saved my life literally XD a kind of a fluffy ball of dust was in the jack

Thank you so much! If it didn’t work, get a small flashlight and look inside of the headphone jack. For me it was extremely dirty inside of it so I just really needed to scrape the sides of it so make sure you can see where the dirt is.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR THE ONLY VIDEO THAT WORKED I LOVE YOU

If your headphones is for the charger port and your phone is stuck on headphones then just charge your phone and go to RU-vid. It will give sound without a headphone! Your welcome guys! But if this does not work, then I am really sorry. But this worked for me!

crazy how my phone switched back to speaker mode ab 20secs into the video

thanks for the video, it really help because I WATCHED IT ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN MY PHONE.

“It’s like picking your nose to be honest”

Plugged some random ear phones in then took them out then boom! It worked. I didn’t hear him but understood what he was doing.

Thanks so much it helped me out with my phone

Yo i used the paper clip stuff and now my volume works, I found dirts inside. I usually don’t believe this type of thing but for the first time in my life, something like this works for me. Thank you man! 😁😁😁

Bloody legend helped me and saved me 50 quid

Thank you so much for this video I didn’t no what was wrong with my iPhone but watched this nd it fixed it

Put your headphones on jack and then turn off ur iphone and then turn it on again, remove headphones . This works proof .

It worked 100% thanks men…. earpiece started working too

I’m watching it with the same problem, I can’t hear you.

I used a small drill piece to get a load of dirt out of the headphone jack as this forces the dirt/whatever is down there to come to the top! Rather than push it in further! Make sure you twist it gently though and don’t apply too much pressure ... hope this helps

my mom dropped my phone in my baby brothers soup

okay guys it really works ! i didn’t even use a paper clip , i just used a bobby pin from my hair and also if you can’t hear him the words are in the description

The same thing applies for the lighting connector. You would be surprised how much dirt, you could find in your ports. Thankfully some of the cases made for iPhones have a little "plug" that you put in the port. That way no dirt can go inside, and will not get scratched up.

Thank you for the fix! I didn't want to have to get a new phone!

Thank you this work a whole lot! I did the thing with the paper clip and I cleared it

Clicked on the video and regretted every minute. Forgot I couldn't hear 😂😂😂

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was told never to stick a paperclip in the speaker holes, so never thought it’d be safe to do so for the headphone jack. It was all lint! 👍

Thanks a lot brother your Tip gave me solution.... Best of luck with your blog I will be looking forward to it... Thanks again 😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

When I first heard this I though I was deaf

I had to wear headphones to hear you but tysm!!!! It worked!!!!! 😃

I CANT HEAR THE VIDEO MY SOUND DOESN’T WORK

It actually worked. Thx. I tried other probes in the headphone jack, but it took a paper clip to be successful.

Oo man, i was so scared because it didnt work for me! I tried with a toothpick and wiggeld it around and It still was like “ You have your earpods in” and i was like NO IM NOT half crying and after 5 minutes i tried again AND GUESS WHAT? IT WORKED WOOOHOO THANKS

ALL OF THIS IS CLEANING AND MY HEADPHONE SOCKET IS CLEANNNN

skip to 2:15 for the solution

omg thank u sm ❤️ i was so scared it fixed my phoneee

Thanks turning the phone on and off worked

Just watching this helped also go to settings in click on the sound , and just messed with it , or connect to a speaker and stay connected for a 1 min , also disconnect after , then clean your ear phone jack with a qtip , but take some cotton off of the cotton , then go back to messing with your sounds

Omg thanks! I couldn’t hear the vid of course

Thank you so much for making this video cause idk how this happened for some reason even if I can’t hear I still be using captions but let’s fix this stupid headphone mode on this dumb ipad it’s the worst I could ask for

I can’t hear the vi- *Oh right*

Thanks for the helped .....my phone can hear after watching your video

I took so much dirt out of my iPhone 6’s headphone jack💀💀💀

It worked THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used caption you got to dig in deep

i can’t ever hear . put subtitle

This actually worked I give this man all the respect on the world

Some thing that worked for me was to get earphones and put it full volume simple

I thought this is a dumb idea but it worked... wow thx man!!! great vid

It doesnt work for me :c

Try factory resetting your phone with the headphones in ... it worked for me

Didn’t work man I’m out of options don’t know what to do

Thanks Bruv, just took a earwax stick damped it rolled it in my iphone headjack for 3 minutes and boom it says volume now and it sounds just the same before the problem!

I rolled a small piece of paper that is small enough to get inside the headphone jack and clean the area, I saw some dust come out and it worked. I also have a iPhone 6

Thank you soo much! There was stuff in the part where I put my charger in and once I cleaned that out, I could finally here the video

i’ve tried 10 ways to fix it but this one helps me. Thank you☺️

The first one work. Thank you bro your a life saver

In my case it didn’t work nothing turning it off or cleaning and nothing didn’t work but I got a small paper clip and I messed with it and found the clip that was stuck and gotta that was it made it work so 1st clean where headphones plug in then get paper clip and find the small clip inside headphones hole plugs mess with and keep checking the volume till it works do this after you turn off your phone and it won’t work then do what you saw in the video or do what I did n explain how to! Thank you good video n thanks again because you help me get my cell working again and God bless

The last part actually worked thx so much

OMFG THIS WORKS TYSM I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS FOR SO LONG

Thanks, man. I restarted twice - and normal sound operation was restored.
