Phone Loud Speaker Comes On by Default

[BazzaBoy1]

When I make or answer a call on my LG Nexus 5X, the loud speaker comes on by default and that too at full volume. Quite embarrassing in public. I would like the speaker not to come on and listen only by holding the phone to my ear.

I have looked around, but cannot find a setting that controls the loud speaker. Can someone help please?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Android Central! When that happens, are you able to toggle the speakerphone off and listen through the earpiece speaker?
