Apple Beta Releases

Hi all. Running beta 4 I think and sometimes as I'm browsing, the phone just goes directly to the earpiece. There's no way of switching it back. I've tried turning off and on voice over with no luck. It seems to work out this bug on its' own. Has anyone else had this? This doesn't happen when I'm watching something, just as I said, randomly it decides to do this. thx all.

I've reported this one, a simple way to make it happen every time is to tap a link in an email. To get it back, I think I've had the best luck switching to bluetooth earbuds and back.

Things like this really make me wonder what sort of spaghetti code IOS really is.
