How to remove headphone symbol in Jio Phone in a few easy steps

Jio phone is a budget feature phone which brings a lot of functionalities and add-ons which are otherwise not available to users with a standard Android device. It comes pre-bundled with the company’s suite of applications which include JioCinema, JioTV, JioMusic, and other such tools with a massive library of addictive content. Due to this reason, the phone has become highly popular among the masses.

However, Jio phones are sometimes faced with a problem where they get stuck in the headphone mode, especially when you use headphones too often on the device. This is where a headphone symbol would appear on the phone’s notification bar even when a headphone is not plugged in. This is actually a common issue among Jio phones and can be easily resolved.

• You will have to enable your Jio phone's loudspeaker every time you’re on a call.
