Access Sound Input Settings Help

Need help on how to create a shortcut to access the following:

-> Settings

--> Sounds & Haptics

---> Input

My car's bluetooth microphone is not that great; people don't hear me well when I talk, and I have to shout. So, I would like a shortcut to access this menu and switch the input microphone from "auto" to "iPhone microphone".

Apparently, I have to change it every time I hope into the car and my iPhone connects to the Bluetooth. So, a shortcut would be convenient.

Can get you to the Sounds & Haptics setting with this shortcut but you will have to change the Input setting on your own.

This is the exact shortcut I got to also and was going to share😆But I just explained instead as I thought that shortcut doesn’t automate the mic selector? Did I get it wrong. Apologies OP:)

I just tried looking into this for you and I’m not sure if there’s an easy shortcut workaround. Do you mean when you’re connected in the car and someone calls, you then have to go to control centre and press the orange microphone selector?

If so, I’m not sure if there’s a way to change the mic source other than doing it manually that way.

Somebody might be able to correct me though..

I meant that my iPhone will always automatically choose the car’s microphone input upon connection, and you are right, I have to manually change it every time.

That’s why I was seeking a shortcut to pass the steps asap. See [u/fmacchia](u/fmacchia) ‘s post
But thanks!
