Bluetooth audio routes to wrong device on Android

Why calls may automatically route through Bluetooth when using Hiya Spam Blocker as the default phone app, and how to manage audio routing

When Hiya Spam Blocker is set as your default phone app, Android routes call audio using the same Bluetooth priority it applies to any default phone dialer. If a Bluetooth headset or car stereo is paired and connected, calls may automatically connect through that device.

If you use a Bluetooth headset or car stereo

This is expected behavior — Hiya Spam Blocker inherits Android's standard Bluetooth routing for the default phone dialer. When a Bluetooth audio device is connected, Android routes calls through it automatically.

To route a specific call to your earpiece or speaker instead: Use the audio routing button on your in-call screen to switch to earpiece or speaker during the call.

If calls are routing through Bluetooth unexpectedly

If you're not intending to use a Bluetooth device but calls are routing there anyway:

  1. Go to Settings → Bluetooth and disconnect any paired devices you don't want to use for calls

  2. Force-close Hiya Spam Blocker (swipe it away in the app switcher) and reopen it before placing a call

  3. Test whether the routing issue persists

Still having problems?

Contact support from Settings → Help and Support in the app. Include your device model, Android version, and the type of Bluetooth device involved (headset, car stereo, speaker, etc.) so the engineering team can investigate.
