# nativeInCallAudioMode()

> Returns the current native audio mode used during a call on mobile.

`nativeInCallAudioMode()`

Returns the current native in-call audio mode: either `'video'` or `'voice'`.

The audio mode controls automatic audio device selection and routing. `'video'` mode prefers the speakerphone when no headset is connected, while `'voice'` mode prefers the earpiece.

## Return value

Returns `DailyNativeInCallAudioMode`, which is `'video' | 'voice'`.

## Example

```javascript theme={null}
const mode = call.nativeInCallAudioMode();
console.log('Current audio mode:', mode); // 'video' or 'voice'
```
